I game across this freestanding rock on the beautiful island Vágar called Trøllkonufingur, which means Witch’s finger. It is said to have been climbed only once, and the story goes all the way back to 1844, where a man climbed the Witch’s finger so that he could wave to the king Frederick VII of Denmark, when he sailed past the island. Later, when the man had come down, he realized that he had left one of his gloves on the top of the rock, so decided to climb back up after the gloves. On his way to the top he hadn’t enough strength left, and died in his fall. #visitfaroeislands #DTCC2016 #offthebeatenpath #vagar #FaroeIslands #rockclimbing #climbing #Adventure #Nature #discoverearth #beautifuldestinations #rib62 (at Trøllkonufingur)
