Look Ed "photo by" Webster can't be wrong.

NORWAY.

The Lofoten Islands are located off the west coast of Norway north of the Arctic Circle. The area is covered with inspirational mountains of perfect grey granite in some dramatic scenery. As with many areas the developed climbing seems to have barely scratched the surface of available climbable rock and yet the established routes are already regarded as some of the best multi-pitch granite routes in either side of the Atlantic.

Mick,

Right on, there are miles of granite just waiting to be explored and that far North you can climb just about 24 hours a day. The only downside is that you are right on the North Atlantic coast and when it rains, boy does it suck. Beer is really expensive too, about $7 a pint.
