Himmelen kan vente, 6b+
(Heaven Can Wait) This brilliant route has some great climbing and sensational finish high on the buttress. A large cam or two will come useful. Almost as good as route Vestpillaren Direct but likely to be a lot quieter. FA. (Pitches 2 and 3) Helge Stokstad, Harald Henden 1982. They climbed the initial crack system plus the Slanting Groove pitch of the Vestpilaren. FA. (as described) Patrik Fransson, Thørbjorn Enevold 15.6.1997. FA. (Variation finish) Jonas Dahlstrup et al 2000s.

Super climbing! Lead pitches (1–2, 4,) 5, 7, 9. (Did a variation where we climbed P1–4 of Vestpillaren instead of P1–3 to avoid the P2 offwidth b/o lack of gear. Pitches 4-> climbed as Himmelen kan vente.)

Bloody good and varied climbing! From offwidth to technical slabs. Most pitches quite sustained. Beware rope getting stuck on last pitch.
We thought the line was very logical. Bit of difficulty in finding the start but hey, it’s the same as for the original line on the face!
Relentless sun, ran out of water. Led P4-6.
