Pictures from Blåmannen, Norway.
The north face of Blåmannen (1050 m), located on Kvalöya just outside Tromsö in Norway. Atlantis follows the large dihedral that ends just to the left of the top and offers 10 pitches of high-quality free climbing on solid granite. The first free ascent was made in July 1990 by Per Hustad and Johan Nilsson with logistic and spiritual support from Sjur Nesheim. (Photo Johan Nilsson)
