Description

Ulvåsen consists of four crags situated in a nice environment with many walking paths.

ASPECT AND CLIMATE
The crags are facing north or west and are relatively open but get dry rather slowly. Since the surroundings are quite swampy the mosquitoes can be a problem from time to time.
For more details see respectively crag description.

THE ROUTES
The naturally protected routes are vertical or a bit slabby while the bolted ones are vertical or slightly overhanging. The bolted pitches are equipped with lower-offs while the trad ones aren’t. The crags are not really the most popular and can therefore feel dirty and unclimbed. For more details see respectively crag description.
