Crag features

Molladalen is considered to be one of the best places in Norway for climbing steep crack routes. The climbing here is something in itself. The routes in Molladalen are typically 3-6 rope lengths long, but of very different character. We have the big, long wall routes with beautiful cracks, flakes and dihedrals, but you can also find airy routes up steep ridges, and short sporty walls up to the summit needles. The rock type in Molladalen is mostly granitic gneiss. More exciting for us climbers: gneiss is more exposed to erosion than granite and in this case left plenty of roofs to wrestle with. The climbing here tends to be steep and airy for the grade!

The guidebook (in Nynorsk) for Molladalen is "Sunnmøre - Frå tindar til kampesteinar" and also has info on Sunnmore`s "peaks and boulders". If you cant find it online then ask nicely on the "Klatring i Molladalen" group on facebook.

*Sorry for butchering your lingo Nordic speakers but I left out the Å, æ, Ø on purpose to make it easier for Anglophones to find things without having those on their keyboards.
