Hueco Tangen (Stange)

Hueco Tangen is located about 10 minutes south by car from the most popular bouldering area Stange. The area offers a mix of bouldering walls and freely scattered boulders, set in a quiet forest environment.

The approach is around a 15-20minute walk from the parking area, following forest paths that lead through woodland terrain. Once at the boulders, climbers will find a relatively untouched and less frequented area compared to Stangebleau or Krøllesteinen. Because of the lower traffic, many boulders are more affected by moss, and some landings are less developed and messy.

Several problems are quite high, so it is recommended to bring enough crash pads. Some landings, especially at Storeblokka, Diederblokka, and Brattblokka, may need improvement before climbing.

Due to its more remote and less visited character, Hueco Tangen offers a wilder bouldering experience with a sense of exploration, but also requires a bit more care and preparation from climbers.

The history of bouldering in the Stange area is relatively recent, with development beginning in 2006. The first boulder problem established in the region was Krøllesteinen, which marked the start of what would later become one of the most important bouldering destinations in Innlandet.

Today, Stangebleau is the best-known and most frequently visited area, offering more than 200 boulder problems on high-quality rock. Its compact layout, easy access, and wide range of grades have made it a favourite destination for both local climbers and visitors from across Norway.

In addition to Stangebleau, several other smaller bouldering areas can be found within a 5–20 minute drive. Among the most notable are Den magiske skogen, one of the larger sectors only 3 minutes from Stangebleau, as well as Sothaugen/Vallset hill and Hueco Tangen. Together, these areas create a diverse bouldering destination with plenty of possibilities for exploration and new ascents.
