The slanting groove and a ramp to the summit plateau - Sydpilaren (Pitches 12 & 13)

13 pitches route on Norway's national mountain - Stetind. First 3/4 of the route is relatively easy, and the more difficult climbing on the upper part. This route took us about 11,5 hours in total from car to car, including 2,5 hours of approach and 6 hours of climbing.

You used a micro traction on one of the placements. I've not seen that before. Can you please tell me more about why? Or point me in the direction where I could learn more?

Hi. That's used for simul climbing, so if the second falls, he won't pull the leader down. Probably I should have used two actually, because there's two ropes.

You should not extend it, it will follow the rope up when you climb. If your follower falls you will get his weight on you and potetially get pulled off. Which is what the micro is there to prevent. Same goes for ropestretch when you climb with doubles. Simuel is fun and safe when done right, this is not it😅
Brent Berghahn has a greate article on the subject.
