Description

Spread out boulders and small walls close to the Horsevika white sandy beach and bridge to Sandsøy. Leave no trace mentality in this beautiful place with a view across the fjord towards Senja. People live in the Horsevika farm, so you are not necessarily alone. The boulders have variable rock quality (granite) and often need substantial brushing with the exception of the few boulders along the shoreline. The REGNBUE SPREKK boulder has for instance one of the best quality rock but requires low tide to climb. The boulders are relatively small with generally very good flat landings in the heather. But there are also some bigger lines, BAURG and SJØKANTEN are for example high ball exceptions that were cleaned/pre-practiced on top-rope.
