It is easy to understand why Galgeberget is so popular. The approach is short, the walls dries quickly after rain and there are always possibilities to find shade on warm summer days. The granite is compact, cleanly cut and offers superb climbing.
The different walls all have their own personalities. Make sure to visit them all.
Descend suggestions from the top:
- South wall: If you climb the south-facing wall, it is recommended to descend on foot via the eastern side of the mountain. Walk north until you're down, and go back to the routes along the cliff. It takes a couple of minutes, a lot
faster than taking the long way around. To facilitate taking this route, there has also been set up some fixed ropes in the gorge down the side of the mountain.
In 2024 a new rappel sling has been added around the juniper (enbuske) on the right south side of the cliff, if you prefer the rappel. Remember it is always the climbers responsibility to assess the rappel point and the junipers condition before rappelling.
In 2024 there was added a rappel sling around a tree (pine), above "Stora Hörnet" far west on the south wall. Here, a 28 m long rappel takes you down to the ground.
