Lofoten is an incredible place where huge granite mountains and cliffs meet the sea, there's 24-hour daylight in the summer and the Northan lights in the winter. Lofoten has some great quality rock on massive granite cliffs that make for fantastic climbing, most of the climbing is trad climbing with a small amount of sport climbing dotted around too. This is the new updated version of the Lofoten guide, since the last one was published in 2008 there has been a lot of development, this guide covers all of the new routes and has more up to date information about the area, along with useful maps. This guide also has included a guide to an amazing set of peaks around the Stetind area on the mainland, close to Narvik.
