Pete Whittaker's Journey on the Profile Wall in Norway

Pete Whittaker recounts his experience climbing the Profile Wall in Norway, a challenging route that offers a blend of crack climbing and face climbing. He first visited the wall in 2016 and was immediately drawn to its potential for new routes. Over the years, he repeated and established several routes on the wall, leading up to his current project, the hardest line on the wall. The route spans three pitches and combines hard crack climbing with a touch of face climbing. Pete recently completed the route, making it one of the hardest climbs in his career.
