Beachen

Beachen is described as one of Norway’s best climbing sites. You will find really steep and long routes with good crimps and technical slabs. The whole crag is almost waterproof, but you can experience that the steep routes sometimes get damp during rain. On warm days it can get really warm, so it is best to climb before 2 o’clock or late in the evening. The property owner does not want anyone to sleep under the wall. The cliff is visited by many, so remember to take your rubbish with you home. A good piece of advice is to remember water and a 60 metre long rope.

It was Vegard Vereide, Asbjørn Moe and Jarle Kalland who found the cliff (2001) and they have done most of the development. In the summers of 2009 and 2010 Vegard Vereide, Jarle Kalland, Thor Espen Fuglesøy, Sigbjørn Veslegard and Tor Andre Fløtre rebolted almost the whole cliff with glue bolts and «clip in» anchor. They did this with the help of the Norwegian Climbing Association.
