📚 Mjelle is also covered in the guidebook "Arctic Circle Bouldering" from Nov. 2019.
🌍 Mjelle is a recreational area that see alot of activity from the people of Bodø. Especially on clear sunny days. The area is west facing and on clear days you can see almost the full stretch of the Lofoten “wall” to the north-west. The sunsets here can be amazingly beautiful.
🧗♀️⛰ The bouldering here is mostly on free standing boulders with very rough texture and landings are good. A lot can be done with one pad. It is often quite windy so the boulders dry very fast. But the wind can also make it quite a cold experience in other seasons than summer. Due to it being probably the most popular bouldering area for locals through many years the blocs have many variations of lines that can seem more or less obscure, so keep an open mind and play the game.
👶 The area is very child friendly and you can bring a stroller near most of the boulders. The area also host two childrens circuits painted on the boulders. These are descibed in the guidebook.
🛏 It is not allowed to camp or otherwise stay over night at the parking area. But you are allowed to pitch a tent in the areas along the cost.
