One of the best crags in Norway. Here you will find both steep routes from 7a to 8a and slab/vertical routes from 5a to 7a. Almost all of the 60 routes are dry even though it is raining! On sunny days the conditions are best before lunch and late at night due to the sun's heating of the wall. Beachen has been among the top 5 of the Norwegian crags in the climbing community page 8a.nu (over 86 000 members) for many years.
You will find Kleiva nicely located in the forest just above the centre of Stryn. Developed in the mid 1990´s, Kleiva was one of the the first crags in the inner part of Nordfjord. Here you can climb some nice ten to twenty meters vertical routes from 4+ to 7b+. In 2019 local climbers started to bolt several new routes at this crag.
Established in 2015, Erdalen is one of the newest crags in Stryn. This crag is vertical to slightly overhangig and has several nice routes on lower grades. Including one of the country's finest 3+ routes. Some of the routes in Erdalen is up to 55 meters long! Thus, it is important to bring a long rope!
The Folven crag offers slab and vertical climbing on compact rock. It has a great view with Folven Camping in the background. This crag is mostly used as a course crag, as the routes are short and short distance between bolts. Most routes are easily graded (but somewhat sandbagged). If you have via-ferrata slings, there is also a short via-ferrata route in the canyon.
Mimreveggen is the white wall at Hildaneset, about 2.5 km from the center of Innvik. There are only 3 routes at 7b and 7b+, but the climbing field is absolutely worth a visit for these routes. During the breaks you can also enjoy the magical view over Nordfjord.
Up-and-coming area! Only a few boulders has been done yet in this beautiful surroundings! A lot of potential, easily accessible and with proper landings.
