06 Sep Nordic Flower 9a (?) FA for Jorg Verhoeven

 
Jorg Verhoeven spent some time together with Reini Fichtinger in the norwegian region of Flatanger, north of Trondheim, where the coastal area offers lots of granit, with some enormous caves.
“ I must say, I never seen anything like this place before. The Americans would come up with a ‘Next Level something’, but all I can think of is the next level of astonishment…” – writes in his blog .
 
Jorg worked to a  70 meter extension of Nordic Flower, a project L.Laporte bolted last year “one of the most brilliant routes I’ve ever done. There’s two logical intermediate chaines, where there’s rests but no really comfy no hands. I’ve climbed it till the second chain, which offers already 55 meters of near roof climbing, on all natural fantastically shaped features and holds.”

Jorg proposes the grade 9a:  It seemed harder than Hades, the 9a I did a few weeks ago, It might as well be‘only’ 8c+, but it sure felt pretty tough 🙂 I do hope that some people will try this soon "
