Description

Östersunds local crag! 2km from towncenter and with almost 200 sport and trad routes ranging from grade 3 up to 8c it has something for everyone.

This is where most people in Östersund goes for their daily climbing. It might not be the most beautiful crag you have ever visited but it has something for everyone and it´s worth a visit if you are passing by. Most of the climbing is done between May and September. The crag is facing east so it has sun until midday and after that most of the crag is in the shade. That together with the fact that there are quite a lot of trees shading makes some part of the crag to take quite long to dry after rain. But it also makes it possible to climb even on the most sunny days. Most of the routes were established in the 90s and early 2000 but there are still new routes being bolted.

"Piasavaväggen" is the main area of the crag. This sector is the most climbed one last couple of years and it´s most likely here you will end up when you get here. It has some tables for eating, information signs and a fireplace. Perfect if you bring kids. The routes ranging from 4 up to 7a with most being around 20meters long. It also have two multipitch routes perfect for your first multipitch. On the right hand side of the sector you have a couple of routes very suitable for beginners and children.
"Morsans område" - a bit more compact rock. This sector has some of the most climbed routes in 6c - 7a range.
"Degagementväggen" - a lot of routes divided to different parts of the wall. Some really short ones and a lot of them being up to 30meters.
"Gummans vägg" - this is were the most climbed multipitch climb "Retardo" is located, 55meters fully bolted.
"Frösötaket" - some of the harder overhanging routes of the crag is located here.
"Brännmärkta väggen" - last part of the "main wall". Good place to hang around if you want to push your climbing further.
"Stormväggen" - some routes very spread out. Very few people climb this sector but hopefully in a couple of years this will change.
"Bergrummet" - home to the hardest routes in Jämtland. It was reopened 2023 after being closed for a long time.

There are a lot of routes at this crag. Unfortunately not all of them is getting climbed every year and that leads to moss and other things growing up. This needs to be taken into account when looking at the topos. Also the same in the other way around. Some of the routes looks very mossy in the images but have been brushed since then.

All of the income from premium topo goes to the local climbing club, Östersunds Klätterklubb, to maintain the crags around Östersund. If you notice that any bolt or something needs to be replaced. Please contact the local club, Östersunds klätterklubb.

Have fun!

History

Climbing activity outside the mountains before the 70s is almost a blank slate. We know that there has been climbing on Frösöberget from time to time since the 40s or possibly even earlier, but no route description has been found. It is also uncertain whether anyone actually climbed all the way up the road during this time.

Our history begins with the climbing of the Falkleden on Frösöberget in 1973. A little later, Snickarleden was made and then the elegant Stora Diedret, which is still considered one of the finest lines on Frösöberget.

During the 90s and early 2000 most of the routes was bolted and climbed.
