Reskjem

The cliff is south facing and mostly overhanging. It has become a popular choice after its development due to quality climbing and a short approach walk. The overhanging routes can be climbed in light rain and the wall is among the first to dry after a rainfall. The main wall has shade until noon.

The wall is comprised of reddish quartzite rock that might feel different from the regular granite/gneiss crags which dominate the area. The climbing is technical and athletic, and you can find routes in different styles; both long and sustained climbing, or with short bouldery cruxes.

The holds have a tendency to have fairly sharp edges, which probably inspired the name of one of the crag's classic 7b+ routes Den Røde Samurai (the Red Samurai). Despite this, the holds are both finger- and skin friendly, and the rock offers decent friction, although it feels slippery to the touch.

The area below the wall is rocky with large boulders stacked together, and is thus not very suitable for small children.

It was the local climber Lasse A. Strømme who saw the climbing area while he was driving one of his many trips between Notodden and Bø. The rock was very different from the rest of the climbing in Bø, so he had problems getting other local climbers to join him in developing the area. Two non-local climbers Runar Carlsen and Jon Erik Finnvold were sponsered by the Norwegian Climbing Association and started deveolping the area in the spring of 2007.
