THE HISTORY
The first recorded ascent took place in 1910, achieved by Ferdinand Schjelderup, Alf Bonnevie Bryn, and Carl Wilhelm Rubenson. This ascent marked a historic moment in Norwegian climbing and paved the way for future generations of climbers. Since then, Svolværgeita has become a popular destination for climbing enthusiasts, both local and international.
THE EXPERIENCE
The most famous route is "The Goat Leap," which culminates in an iconic challenge: the leap between the two horns. While it may seem terrifying, it is relatively safe for experienced climbers and represents a rite of passage for many.
Other routes, such as the classic south face route, vary in difficulty, making Svolværgeita accessible to both beginners and experts.
With its combination of history, technical challenges, and spectacular scenery, climbing Svolværgeita is an unforgettable experience and a symbol of the adventurous spirit of Lofoten.
