Description

🇬🇧Oksås is one of the most popular crags close to Sandefjord, and with the combination of Lille Oksås, Hovedveggen and Øvre Oksås it offers quality climbing on both trad and sport in the grades 4 - 6c+, but also has three harder sport routes grading 7b+, 7b+ and 7c.

For beginners and kids Lille Oksåsen, 30 meter to left in to the forest from the parking, is a very good option. The wall is not fully vertical, has good holds and a lot of options. There is also some easy trad routes here for trying out natural protection.

Hovedveggen has a wide variety of routes, most of them quite long. During summer it can be quite popular in the cover of the trees.

Øvre Oksås is great both for the climbing and for the view. It drys quickly when the sun comes out, and as long as there is not a lot of snow it can be climbed at most times of the year. Gets very warm in the summer since it has almost no shade at all.

History

🇬🇧The development started in the early 2000, and most of the routes was put up by Peter W, Stephen L, Rick V and Paul L. It was a good variety of sport, mix and trad routes that was sent.
Around 2010-2011 some more routes was added and got FAs by Per Nicolai Robertsen and Jan Erik Nøkleby.
Some of the routes and anchors was rebolted with titanium gluebolts and horn-anchors during 2020.
The crag is today mostly maintained by SaVe Klatring.

The area is access sensitive!

🦅 🐣 Please respect the ravens and do not climb on routes from "In my backyard" to "Ecstasy" until the nesting period is over. 🐣 🦅 🐣 Climbing prohibited on routes from end of march to about june due to ravens nesting at the anchor of Flower.

Parking close to the crag next to the boat on trailer, out towards the road, and a long the road. But please, don't park in front of the garage or between the road and the stacked wood since this blocks the entrance to the garage.

The landowner does not want the crag to be a place for commercial climbing courses and activities, and to continue our good relationship with the landowner we ask you all to accept this. If you have questions about it, please contact us at SaVe Klatring to get more information.
