History

🇬🇧 The development of Husvik started during the mid 90's when many of the obvious natural protected lines where climbed. During that periode there was most activity at the sector Arneveggen where some routes where bolted by hand, including the crags most famous route with the same name as the sector. Later in the 2000's the sector Grusveggen and Hovedveggen where developed. The bouldering activity started in 2010.
