New Lofoten Climbs Guidebook
The long rocky chain of islands that make up Lofoten in Norway have long had a near mythical status – sheer granite peaks and deep blue fjords and, in the summer, bathed in 24 hour sunlight. The area is one of the most spectacular and beautiful destinations in the world. For climbers the reputation of Lofoten is home to some great trad climbing, with many excellent multi-pitch routes up to 500m long.
The climbing in Lofoten is generally trad protected and on superb quality granite rock. The routes range from easy and accessible to hard and remote, from single pitch to 20-pitch adventures and everything in between. A great place for an adventurous rock climbing holiday.
