Moving towards legalization
The Mayor of Rauma, the municipality where the Troll wall lies, is callong for a removal of the ban against jumping in the cliff massif. He will be contacting the minister of justice in Norway to propose a removal:

He gets full support from the chief of police in Møre & Romsdal, Arnstein Nilsen. Nilsen has previously stated that the police will not pursue jumping and that this is the line they will continue to follow regardless of a ban existing or not (he stated the same some years ago)

Anyways - a great day for the local jumpers, the norwegian community and worldwide community as a whole!!
