Description

A rather small but very nice crag in the vicinity of Alingsås where the first routes were put up in the summer of 2004. Due to its relatively easy and well bolted routes has Norsesund become a very popular crag.

ASPECT AND CLIMATE
The crag faces southeast and is in the sun for most of the day. Some parts of the crag are shaded by trees. The routes dry relatively fast. The crag is located in the vicinity of a busy and pretty noisy railway which can be pretty annoying.

THE ROUTES
The routes on the left side of the crag are short, slightly overhanging and quite good. The routes on the right side of the crag are a bit more moderate and longer. All routes but two are bolted and almost all of them are equipped with lower-offs.
Some parts of the crag are a bit porous (be careful).

History

The first routes in Norsesund were developed in the beginning of 21st century. Most of the development, which was mostly done by local climbers form Alingsås, was done between 2004 and 2008 with some easier routes added later on.

Climbing has been limited!

Only parking at commuter parking in Norsesund is OK. Do not park at the railway crossing.

Birds are nesting every year at the crag which means some restrictions. Keep you updated and do not climb close to the nest.

Right now (May 2024) there are ravens nesting at the crag and the land owner wishes no climbing till the end of May.

🚗
From Göteborg take motorway E20 eastward. After about 30 km leave the motorway (signs for Norsesund) and follow the signs towards Norsesund.
Turn left at a T-junction just after you’ve driven under a railway bridge. Follow the road for about 300 m and park your car on a parking lot for commuters.
The drive is about 40 km.
🚶‍♀️
From the car park follow the road towards Alingsås for about 1 km and you should spot the crag a bit up into the forest on the left side of the road.

🚉/🚲
An alternative is to take the commuter train from Göteborg to Alingsås and leave at the station in Norsesund. It is OK to take a bike on commuter trains so you can bike to the crag from the station in Norsesund.
