The sectors:
Veslesvaet:
The most popular sector with a great view of the valley. A nice place to take beginners, with several nice and easy routes. The wall is vertical and offers technical and crimpy climbing. It's also a good place to warm up for the harder routes. Veslesvaet is exposed to the sun and wind, and dries very fast. The sun makes it available to climb here in late winter/early spring. It's possible to scramble to the top and use trees to rig top ropes for Veslesvaet.
Storesvaet:
This is the big wall to the left of Veslesvaet. There are constantly rockfalls from this wall, and therefore the sector is not included in this topo for safety reasons. There are around 10 mix- or trad routes in this sector, as well as two bolted routes (Peggen 6b+ and Eggen 6a). Most routes here were established in the 80s, and top rope anchors have later been installed on top of some of the routes.
Pinakkelen:
The large freestanding block in front of Veslesvaet, that has two easier slab routes on the backside, and two harder 6b+s on the steep shady side.
Bratta:
To reach this sector from Veslesvaet, just keep close to the wall, and walk to the right for 50-100 meters. The first routes you see is Manndomsprøven 6c and Essen 7b+. This sector is more overhanging and has several hard routes, some hard projects and some trad lines for the adventurous climber.
Kursveggen:
A roadside wall with three easy trad lines. It is situated 40 meters next to the parking, just 10 meters into to the forest. This is a great place to train for trad climbing, or to rig a top rope for beginners.
