LOFOTEN CLIMBS | guide d'escalade Rockfax

The Lofoten archipelago is a magical area – a pearl necklace of granite mountains, deep blue fjords, and tiny wooden fishing villages all squeezed between the mainland and the vastness of the Norwegian Sea, situated 250km north of the Arctic Circle. There is extensive high quality rock climbing here on magnificent granite cliffs, the vast majority of this being traditionally protected. The Lofoten Climbs Rockfax is the ‘go to’ volume –  the essential companion for travelling climbers visiting this wonderful rock paradise.

This will be the third Rockfax guidebook to this spectacular and beautiful area, the first 2008 volume won the Banff Guidebook of the Year Award and put Lofoten very much on the map. We updated and expanded the information in 2017. This book adds a couple of new areas and a lot of new crag photographs, plus some fantastic new maps. The coverage has been added to with some new accessible crags near Narvik.
