New boulder climbing gym in Stryn

Image
Finally we have got a proper boulder climbing gym in Stryn! GYM Stryn has built a wall of about 165sqm. The boulder wall is built by Tjelmeland Friksjon, Norway's best producer of climbing walls! In addition, a Kilterboard has been installed.  This is just fantastic for us locals in winter, and we hope visiting climbers will use this wall to train some strength and power during the holidays, or when the weather is too bad. The room has air conditioning for hot summer days! Link to the gym:  https://gymstryn.no/bulder-stryn/ Google map link to address:  https://goo.gl/maps/NQJwUNpdvc5fzUSX8

My little project to show you around in the Stryn & Nordfjord mountains. This site as you are reading now, is neither a guide, tourist information or a company site. Nor is it a up-to-date resource for skiing conditions, climbing and glaciertours or a site aiming to describe a listing such as "top 10 activities to do in Stryn". You yourself must plan your explorations according to your own skill and abilities, and you are the one who must do your own risk assessment. This site is purely ment to give an overview of some random activities in the region for inspiration, focusing on climbing, hiking and skitouring. Climbing, skiing, hiking, biking and other action sports is dangerous! All activity is entirely at your own risk and responsibility. And you should never climb, ski, hike, etc. if you are not willing to accept full responsibility for the consequences of your participation in the activity.
