Norway delivers for David Firnenburg
David Firnenburg, currently eight months into a road trip with Andrea Kรผmin, has climbed 27 boulders graded 8A to 8B+ in Norway over the past month โ including three 8A+ flashes. Pictured: Under your nose (8B).
Which are the best boulders and areas you can recommend? Which of your flashes do you remember the most?
Itโs gorgeous, indeed! Well, I think there a many good areas spread over the country with their own charm. I liked the Rogaland region (around Stavanger) a lot and up here in Trรธndelag (like Vingsand and Flatanger). In Rogaland the areas arenโt really big but spread out so you sometimes have to drive an hour between two areas, for instance. One area where there accumulate some sectors nearby is Oltedal. I enjoyed climbing Dynamitten (8B), Slopestyle sittende start (8B) and Ribbefett (8A) there, for example.
Here in Trรธndelag there is Diamanten (8B) in Vingsand and Brick squad (8A+) in Flatanger (Glasรธyfjellet) which I highly recommend. The latter I flashed which was a memorable moment for me.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
