Arne Randers Heen

Heen was born in Hen, Møre og Romsdal, and worked as a tailor in nearby Åndalsnes.

[5][6][7] Heen was largely autodidact in mountaineering, and an unconventional outsider to a sport defined by Norsk Tindeklub in Oslo's western suburbs.

In 1958 he finally succeeded together with Ralph Høibakk, their only equipment was rope, 10 pitons, 6 carabiners and a hammer each.

Heen helped XU-agent Sven Sømme escape through a difficult mountain pass between Isfjorden and Eikesdalen.

Wood handed over detailed maps and photos of German military facilities along the coast between Stad and Bergen to Heen.

Trollryggen, the tall pillar to the left of Trollveggen and the cone-shaped scree beneath the wall, was first climbed by in 1958 by Arne Randers Heen (then 53 years) with Ralph Høibakk (21). Høibakk climbed the route again 50 years later. [ 1 ]
