Description

Note: Most of the boulders have been cleaned and climbed a long time ago, but a lot of the names and initial gradings have been forgotten. (Read: History)

Kåsen is a small but compact bouldering area just south of Oppdal. The rock quality is mostly good, but can be sharp and a little chossy on some of the boulders. With mostly good landings in a very compact area, this crag is perfect for a quick session and also kid friendly.

Navigation by car: Take off from the E6 in the first roundabout if coming from south (Third if coming from the north) Take left in the traffic light junction, and left again towards the industryarea (by Spar), drive over the bridge and turn right in the first junction. Follow the road until you reach a parking space, while the other small parking lies 100 meters further in. On the left side of the road (towards almannberget) you will find the boulders super close. In the trees you will also see the remainders from the "North Shore" cycle path made by local cyclists.

A visit to the best climbing related store in the area, VPG (Vertical Playground) is also a must on your visit in Oppdal.

History

It is mainly the climbing community in Oppdal based of VPG who developed the area in the early 2000's. Most of the boulders were brushed and cleaned back then. People such as Erik Aalde, Geir Plassen, Rune Kvalsnes and others should be credited.💪
