According to Dane Burns blog Cold Thistle

 

"Bjørn-Eivind Årtun (45) and Stein-Ivar Gravdal were found dead attempting a new route at Kjerag in Lysefjorden, Norway yesterday.

 

They went out on Tuesday expecting to get back Thursday, when they weren't a Sea King was called on Friday and found them hanging from a rope 100m above the scree slope. Local mountain rescue will start a recovery operation today."

 

A sad day for the alpine climbing world indeed
