Troll Wall, Vertical cliff in Romsdalen Valley, Norway
The Troll Wall reaches 1,700 meters in height and features a vertical drop of 1,000 meters, making it the tallest vertical rock face in Europe.
Norwegian mountaineers completed the first successful ascent of the Troll Wall in 1965, marking the beginning of a new era in European climbing history.
The name derives from Norwegian folklore, as the formation's immense stature recalls the mythological trolls that inhabit the mountains of Scandinavia.
The European Route E136 highway provides direct access to viewing points of the Troll Wall from the Romsdalen valley floor.
The summit ridge of the cliff extends beyond its base by 50 meters, creating an overhanging section that challenges traditional climbing techniques.
