Ytre Øksningan

The bouldering in Herøy is mainly concentrated on Ytre Øksningan. Most of the rock is situated on a beautiful hillside with great view towards the ocean.

The rock quality is generally pretty good, with great friction without being sharp on the skin. Some boulders almost feel like sandstone. The whole area dries up quickly due to the exposure, altough some rocks may need a little more brushing to shine.

Have fun, and feel free to add topo suggestions!

Herøy is not known for its climbing/bouldering, but Asbjørn Moe actually established a lot of boulders at Øksningan in the 80's and 90's. Later Martin Haraldsen bruhed and established more.

Now the area is finally published, also driven by the young crushers "Peckford". They have also added some more and harder lines.

The publishment is an ongoing prosess and there is a lot of established boulders waiting to be added.
