Norway

in the oslo area its usually pretty hot in the summer. The Kristiansand area (www.ckk.no) and Stavanger area is also pretty hot, but there are walls facing away from the sun, lots of good, steep climbing and lovely bouldering. The Bergen (www.bergen-klatreklubb.no) area is a little more rainy, and also slightly cooler, but still it can be hot, lots of brilliant climbing. If you head a little more north, to Romsdalen (www.buldring.no or home.no.net) there is lots of multipitch, sportclimbing and bouldering. North of romsdalen you'll find trondheim which has got a superb crag called Hell facing north, it might even be cold there in the summer. Anyways, go to www.steepstone.com and either ask in the forum (diskusjon) or look around the page for links and topos. Good luck!

Hey! Howabout northern Norway, I mean really north (around Hammerfest). I´ve heard that there is plenty of beautiful boulders in that area, but do you know anyone who has been climbing in that area? Antti

I don't know much about Northern Norway, only thing I know is that there is plenty of beautiful boulders, both hard and easy ones. You should ask in the forum at www.steepstone.com which is a norwegian site. The "forum" is called "diskusjon", you'll find the link on the orange line at the top of the site (may take a while to load it). If you go there, please send me a mail about how it was, i'm pretty exited about going there.
