UKC

Tjugo På Kjuge roughly means "Twenty from Kjuge" - Kjuge being Sweden's premier bouldering spot. Shawn Boye has made a DVD all about the bouldering in the area and UKC regular, Simon Jacques, has reviewed it for us.

Its good - I was sceptical at first - but on viewing thought it was a class film and really makes you want to go there - buy it you boulderes - especially those who love a bit o' chunes...

In reply to Alan James - UKC:

Superb venue! A Scandinavian Cresciano, although bizarrely the rock is much more akin to Eskdale granite.
Some of the mid-7 test pieces (such as Moby Dick) are as good as anything anywhere.

The actual campsites web page is down, although this gives the details - http://www.humleslingan.com/details.asp?id=391&lang=eng

The campsite has good facilities, is cheap and (unusually) on an island in a lake with a free car ferry which operates pretty much 24:7.

How to get there: Fly from Stanstead to Malmo, and the campsite and climbing is about a 2 hour easy drive, just outside the town of Kristianstad.

Are all the problems there nails - or is there plenty of mid grade stuff for punters??

It does look buff and seriously thinking of a visit

Cheers

In reply to Simon: There are 513 problems from fb2 up to fb 5+ in Kjugekull, and 221 more to go at if you can climb Fb 6a-6a+. I've only been there once, for two days, but I seem to remember there was a lot of quality stuff in moderate grades.

In reply to Simon:
Apologies, perhaps I should have detached my "Yeah there's plenty of easy stuff" statement from those image links. But as Jonas says there are loads of good quality easy to mid grade problems.
