Tosseryd is considered by many as Sweden's best sports climbing area for new climbers, with many, good, varied and easy routes on fine stone quality. Several of the easier sports routes can also be mixed climbed or traditional climbed. Tosseryd developed significantly during the years 2020 and 2025 and increased from 44 to 125 sports routes. Among these are also a bunch of routes in the 7-register, and Tosseryd's first 8a. So nowadays there is something for most climbers in Tosseryd.

🧗‍♀️VÄNSTER SIDA is with its 50 routes Tosseryd's largest climbing area and offers vertical and slab climbing as well as some small roofs on some routes. The routes are between 6 - 20m high. The sports routes are all equipped with anchors with carabiners, as well as the traditional routes. The cliff faces south and southwest. The right part of the cliff is in the sun almost all day. Most of the routes here are dry most of the year and dry quickly after rain.

🧗‍♀️HÖGER SIDA is visible from Fristadsvägen and is a small but really nice cliff that offers 10 vertical, 6-16 m high sport routes. There are also 3 traditional climbed routes. All routes are equipped with anchors.
The cliff faces southwest and northwest.

🧗‍♀️ELAKA TROLLET is a slightly overhanging sports cliff with 11 sport routes (+ a nice traditional route to the right) that are about 12 m high. Only the traditional route Skojig 6c lacks anchorages. The cliff is well worth a visit! The cliff faces south and west.

🧗‍♀️KALHYGGET which is Tosseryd's second largest climbing area with 20 routes. 19 routes are sports routes that mostly offer vertical or steep slab climbing. Some of the routes have steep boulder starts. The cliff is about 10-17 m high. There are anchors on all routes. There are 3 other routes which are overgrown and will probably remain so (we have removed them from the topos for now, but they are included under Photos for those who are curious or want to clear them). Most of the cliff faces south. At the far right of Kalhygget is a whole bunch of nice sports routes that are easily missed and even further to the right is the small cliff with the route "Tvåbulten".
🔥There is a nice barbecue area/fireplace with benches to sit on and many trees to hang the hammock in.

🧗‍♀️LILLA KLIPPAN is a small but nice vertical/slab cliff with 7 sports routes which are about 10 m high. One commonly anchor is located at the top of the routes + an anchor at Duvans röst.
The cliff faces south and is open with sun most of the day.

🧗‍♀️SJÖKLIPPAN is a vertical or slightly overhanging rock with 10-12 m high routes. All routes are bolted and equipped with anchors with new carabiners (2021).
The cliff faces southeast, beautifully located in an area with large spruces and overlooking the lakes. The whole cliff is usually climbable from April. Here you will find Tosseryd's hardest routes, but also some easier ones. There is one open project on the cliff.

🧗‍♀️PUNKVÄGGEN is Tosseryd's steepest cliff and is the cliff that has the densest between the star routes. The 18 sports routes are between 12-20m long, of which one is an open project.
The first and until the year 2020, only opened route, Död åt reptjuven, 1993 has in a short time been joined by several other fine routes. Many of the routes are star routes.
The cliff faces southeast. In the summer it´s sunny between about 9-15.
🔥There is a cozy and nice barbecue area nearby if you at the foot of Punkväggen go straight down to the stream and over the 2 trees that form a bridge. Follow the weak path to the right, away from the lake until you soon come out on a large path. Keep to the right, cross the bridge and on the left side there is a prepared barbecue area next to the brook. It is also nice to sit in the afternoon sun up on the big shelf over "Himmel över Borås" anchor.

History

📜HISTORY
With it´s 126 routes, Tosseryd in Borås, is the largest climbing area in the East of Västergötland and consists of 7 different cliffs/areas. Here are both slab, vertical climbing and overhanging routes. There are both bolted (117) and traditional climbed routes (7) in the area. Several of the bolted routes in register 4-5 can also be traditional climbed. You can climb in the sun or in the shade. Yes, the only thing missing is the really overhanging routes but it is not possible to get everything.
The cliffs in Tosseryd began to develop as early as the end of the 1980s, primarily by Johan Schollin, Ulf Mälkki/Ahlberg, Tord Björkquist and Rickard Fredriksson. Then almost traditional climbed routes. In the 90s, Johan Shollin, Ulf Mälkki/Ahlberg and Anders Holmin made a strong contribution to developing sports climbing in the area. Much thanks to financial support from the KFUM for bolts, anchors and hangers.
Jari Väisänen has been one of the club's zealots who cleared, supplemented bolts and made his own routes both on the mountains in Tosseryd and on other cliffs in the immediate area.
From 2020, Henric Bjuvéus from Borås Climbing Club was the driving force in bringing new life to and further developing sport climbing in Tosseryd. This by clearing and bolt a dozen, nice old traditional routes that have overgrown over the years due to no one climbing them. But also by opening 46 new sports routes. Ulf Mälkki/Ahlberg closed his circle in Tosseryd when he 25 years after he made his first (of many) climbing route in Tosseryd, opened Bollocks 7a+, in 2020. In 2021, Jimmy Wångström opened several sport routes in the 7-register and Tosseryd´s first 8a. Borås Climbing Club members contributed together with most of the material costs to bolt the old routes. The climbing club's goal is to develop Tosseryd into one of Sweden's best and largest sports climbing areas for new climbers.
