Norsky Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 It's worth a check to see if anyone by chance has experience or info about this valley in Norway. I'm interested in the rock rather than ice climbing. I'll be there for at least one week in July. This is all I've found so far: Hemsedal A traditional rock climbing area, with numerous routes located on goodquality gneisses. Routes are 3-10 pithes, grades IV-VII, some aid routes.Hemsedal is known for its ice-climbs (waterfall-ice). Routesfrom grade III to VI (Scottish grading). Potential for mixed climbing,wintertime, is terrific, though few seem to realize that. Guidebooks: Skandinavisk høyfjellsutstyr in Hemsedal.

Dru Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I have a "High Mountain Sports" with some topos. I believe you can buy a guidebook in the local climbing stores with an english language section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may email someone at that big climbing shop in Oslo the name of which escapes me now. I just wanna daydream about what routes we'll do there.
