Skotten, Ura

This is a large crag with a ton of blocs scattered along the Atlantic coast, offering beautiful scenery.
Some boulders are real skin-eaters—but there are also many smooth, classic lines to be found.

Ura has seen the most ascents and is well-suited for both beginners and advanced climbers.
Kleivteigane (also known as Elefantsteinen) is a small sector with over 20 problems located conveniently close to the road.
Solsiden still needs more attention from climbers! (More info coming soon.)

The area has massive potential on either side of the Stemshesten cliff. Skotten is divided into three sectors:
Solsiden (east side)
Ura/Kleivteigane (north side)
Farstadura (west side)

The first two sectors have seen most of the bouldering activity over the years, though there’s been little effort to collect topos. Names, first ascensionists, and grades are often inconsistent—no one really knows who started climbing here.

The ground can be a bit wet, as many of the boulders sit in a boggy area. However, it gets much drier closer to the cliffside, though that also means more forest.
Luckily, the crag dries quickly thanks to its exposure to coastal wind.

Who first discovered this area remains unknown. Many climbers had been out here brushing off rocks back in the day.

But in 2006–2007, Ådne Helland moved nearby and began scouting and cleaning the topouts. He soon called up some friends to help—most notably Frode Østby and Sigmund Brobak. Other climbers also contributed by brushing off moss and putting up first ascents.

Between 2010 and 2015, the crag saw very little activity. But it experienced a renaissance when a new generation of young climbers came of age
