  • Finally we set foot on the island! Sheffield, one of the most iconic climbing spots of the past and present. We are glad to visit one of the birth places of wooden boards, hard training and dirt bag rock climbing. Just before we finishing the day a beautiful little cave popped up next to the road and we couldn´t resist and had to try it! Sean´s Roof 8b+ sport climb, first ascent 1995 by Jerry Moffatt
    Big thanks to Sam Whittaker for showing us around!
    Ahh and before you comment...we blurred the license plate for personal improvement...the Passat is from Sam and we think well known in Sheffield.

    "it was important to do something that is 9b or 9b+ in Flatanger, before trying something hard"

    wherever you go step carefully on your toes and try not to make a lot of noise. Trying the classics on a crag when you go there for the first time is a must!!! Well said Alex. Knowing the history of the place you are entering and bowing to it shows respect to those who envisioned it in the first place. My respects!!!!

    Bestand die Gefahr, oder sah das nur so aus?
