This is the historical epicenter of Kvaløya climbing. The situation, the walls, the climbing cabin and the air, speaks climbing. Although it might be argued that vertical crack climbing on dead-solid granite is grossly out of date -- you hardly can't beat the feeling of cruising a 50 meter hand crack. And here you find exactly that.Routes ranges between one to ten pitches (most around five to six). The walls are on average fairly steep, especially the south face of Baugen, where you also can find slightly overhanging passages. Most cracks ranges from finger to hand size. All routes, with a few exceptions, are very well protected.
Lanterna is a very distinguishable pointy top tucked away between Kjølsvinet and Styrhuset. The Lanterarenna is the obvious aproach and return gully, which should be treated with respect as it is fairly steep. Bring sturdy shoes when there is snow in the gully. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
