History

There is little to no documented climbing activity at Skogvannet before 2023, though it has been a beloved recreational area for locals for decades. Kenneth Einvik published the first potentional boulder in 2015, and Martin Andreas Paulsen established the crag in 2023 brushing several new lines. The first harder 7A/V6-7 lines were added during the summer of 2024 by the German climbers Michel, and Sebastian Sieburg.
