The cliff breathes salt and wind as you clip into the first steel cable at sea level. Waves chatter against bare rock while a guide checks your harness; the route immediately leans out, forcing you to commit to exposed moves as the ocean widens beneath. By the time you reach the exit platform at 57 meters, the fjord opens into a wide, moving map of islands and snow-dusted peaks.
