Trollveggen

To the right, the massive Trollveggen begins to show. Trollveggen is Northern Europe's highest vertical rock face. Trollveggen was first conquered by climbers in 1965, when a Norwegian and an English climbing team via separate routes reached the top within a day of each other. The Norwegian team came first. Since then, many have tried to climb Trollveggen, but it is very dangerous. Since 1966, a total of 19 people have lost their lives in Trollveggen, 10 in climbing accidents and 9 in BASE jumping accidents. There have been countless rescue operations, and with a vertical wall as a starting point, these are very difficult to carry out and put the rescue teams in risky situations. Today, BASE jumping in Trollveggen is illegal.
