The place
Trollveggen is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe, about 1,100 m from foot to summit, overhanging near the top. Climbers first topped it in 1965. In 1980 the Finn Jorma Öster parachuted off Bruraskaret, and some 150 jumps followed in two years. Carl Boenish died here in 1984, shortly after a record jump, and after more deaths and rescues Norway banned jumping in 1986.
Is it legal? Banned since 1986, and by law since 1987.
