help Recovery Drink FAQ
Where exactly is The Recovery Drink located?
The crack route is on Profile Wall at Jøssingfjord in southwestern Norway, not in the Romsdalseggen ridge area. Its isolated setting and severe crack climbing make logistics and specialist equipment important parts of an attempt.
Is The Recovery Drink a 9b sport route?
No. It is an exceptionally serious trad crack generally discussed around E10 and 8c+ or 5.14c, depending on the grading system being used. The protection is placed by the climber rather than supplied by a line of permanent sport bolts.
Who made the first ascent of The Recovery Drink?
Norwegian climber Nico Favresse made the first ascent after developing the line with local climbers. Later ascents by crack specialists Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall helped bring the route to a wider international audience.
What kind of climbing does The Recovery Drink demand?
It follows a steep, sustained crack requiring advanced jamming, body tension and the ability to place protection while fatigued. It is far removed from an ordinary Norwegian hiking objective and is attempted only by elite trad climbers.
