The Norwegians has an rock climbing ethic similar to the English, and you need gear for many of the routes, however, sport climbing freaks can also find some areas where almost all the climbing routes are bolted.

Together with Kolsås (mainly traditional climbing) the areas Bergflødt, Damtjern and Hauktjern (mainly bolted rock climbing routes) offers excellent rock climbing in beautiful surroundings. Those climbing crags is also the ones we recommend for the first time visitor.

Norway is unfortunately very expensive, so fill up petrol and buy food before you cross the border. Bring some cash since they don¸t take card in some supermarkets and you need some coins to pay the road-duty when you cross the city (they don¸t accept cards).

You can find many nice places for your tent or for your crash pad in Oslo, often just by the climbing crag.
During weekends and during holidays you will meet a lot of climbers by the crag, mostly Norwegian¸s but because of the university also climbers from all around the world.
Except climbing; a lot of nice beaches, and of course, everything that a capital city like Oslo can offer.
