In 2022 , Rab athlete Krister Kopala dedicated his season to riding some of the most unforgiving lines on Jiehkkevárri, the highest and arguably most remote mountain in Norway's Lyngen Alps.

With its 1100 vertical meters of rock, ice, snow and no fall zones, the massive South Face, was by far the most intimidating line of them all.

'The White Giant', documents Krister’s journey on this impressive mountain and his project to ride the steepest lines of his life.
