Seconded for Romsdal - rock a trifle sketchy sometimes, but stunningly beautiful and some nice long moderate climbs. Not very fashionable these days.
Norway is really a fantastic country with a great variety of outdoors activity.
Not been to Lofoten or Stetind - both have been on my "list" for a long time

I know collecting guidebooks is a mini-hobby in and of itself, but if you're really only going to visit an area once and are an AAC member, you can check out up to 10 books mailed to you for FREE (you pay only the return shipping).
It is a brilliant service.

^^Good thing we're in sunny Setesdal now: no good weather to mess up our sense of epic struggle and two weeks of daily rain in Lofoten! Seriously, it was beyond amazing up there even w/ the rain. The rock was rough enough to climb anyway if it wasn't too bad. yr.no lied a lot while we were there though...

Hey,
I'm planning to get to Lofoten on next week (alone), I wonder about two things:
1. Are there lots of sport routes or just trad ones?
2. Is it easy to find people to climb with? Is there a special place I should go to hook up with other climbers?
Thanx,
Liad.
