Description

This is the main place for hard bouldering in Bø. Many free standing boulders.

Most of the harder lines are typically steep granite-style bouldering. Some of the boulders have smooth, almost sandstone-ish surfaces due to glacial erosion, which makes the climbing enjoyable.

Sector Skogen is a good place to warm up and set up base camp. Most of the problems are close by each other, especially in "Skogen" and "Ura". In Tredje Etasje the boulders are more dispersed, but not too hard to find. Most of the lines can be found along a faint trail.
