Currently on a Norwegian climbing road trip. We've got the Stetind/Narvik guide along with the guide covering the Trondheim area so have these general areas covered. Was looking for some crag recommendations between these two areas to break up the driving. We're climbing 5s and 6s for both sport and trad. South of Bodø would be good. Thanks in advance.

Pretty certain there is a guidebook to the Bodø area - not climbed that far south myself. Might be helpful to know that Stetind and around is from memory at least an hours drive, maybe more, WSW of Narvik town, so closer to where you are now.

Toby is on the money... There's a Bodo guide or two.

And Stetind is indeed about an hour or hour and half south from Narvik.

The Bodø guide is called "Artic Circle Climbing" or something similar, there are quite a few decent crags in the area:

The 350 miles between Trondhieimand Bodø is mostly trees, unless you are out near the coast, which isn't where the main roads go!

Cheers all. I'll have to keep an eye out for that guidebook. Not seen it on sale for a while. Yes the Bodø - Trondheim stretch looks a long trek that would benefit from a break with a little climbing if such a place exists.

I could probably lend you a copy.

Either grading in it is all over the place or I was being particularly crap when I was there.
