Svolværgeita (far left in the image) is a 150 metre high pinnacle that looms above the town of Svolvær on Austvågøya, an island in the Lofoten Archipeligo. The first climb was in 1910, apparently to settle a bet with a local hotel owner. Since then, the peak has become something of a destination for climbers, many leaping over the 1.5 metre gap between the "horns" on top for an extra thrill before descending.
