The crag is a large climbing area consisting of seven different crags along the same riverbed. Most popular sectors are sector 1, 2 & 3 in the southernmost end of the area. The amount of routes split almost evenly between sport and trad.
In the summertime the area is shady and thus very suitable for those warm, dry spells. Some of the routes can seep for some time but many routes dry fast.
Kakarsberget used to be an old winter crag with all the turf. The first routes date back to that era in the 1990's.
Second development burst started in early 21st century and during the next decade many routes got their cleanup and first ascent. With it's plenty bolted routes in moderate grades Kauhala crag has grown to be the most popular crag on the western side of the capital region.
Pohjois- ja eteläsektorin välistä yksityistietä ei saa ajaa ajoneuvoilla. Parkkipaikoista eteläpuolen parkkipaikan tilanne on vakiintuneempi ja sitä tulisi pitää ensisijaisena pysäköintipaikkana. Pohjoispuolen parkkipaikka sijaitsee asutuksen keskellä.
Jos haluat pyöräillä cragille, paras vaihtoehto on lähteä Kauklahden juna-asemalta. Sieltä menee etelä-puolen parkkipaikalle 45 min, matkaa on ~10,3 km.
-----
There is parking available on both ends of the area, on the south and the north sides. The private road connecting the south and north sectors is not in public use. Of the two parking areas, the south side parking is the better and more established one over the northern parking in the middle of the houses.
If you want to bike to the crag, the best option is to go from the Kauklahti train station. To the south side parking area the journey is around 10,3 km and takes approximately 45 min.
