Brensholmen

Brensholmen separates itself from the rest of the climbing on Kvaløya in two ways: It has a very short approach, and the rock is pegmatitt, not ordinary granite! The walls lies just by the sea, in a beautiful scenery, on the outside of Kvaløya, which gives you a very long season. Together with the short approach, this has made this area one of most popular areas recently. There a mostly sport routes here, but the number of trad routes are increasing. The climbing is technical, but a few routes are very steep, and range from 15-30 m. Note that there are some loose rock, a helmet is advised.
