Østmarka - Katteputten

Østmarka, NO

This sector lies between the Ostmaksetra parking Jot and the southern tip of Skoyenputten. lt does not extend much further east than Skoyenputten, and is named after the swamp in the middle of this sector. It is similar in size to the Filmplaneten North and the Lia sector. When the first edition of this guide was published, in 2008, not a single boulder problem existed in this area. ("'Speidersteinen" did exist but was included in Filmplaneten south). Today, this sector has more problems that any other in this guide. Slightly more than 1/ 4'th of them are graded 5, but there are few very hard problems. The main area is the "Katteparken" mini-sector, and it has almost everything to offer. Most of the problems are in the shade, but "Skoyen-hylla" has plenty of afternoon sun, which is perfect if the temperature is low. The most popular place is "Speidersteinen" and its adjacent walls, as the proximity to civilisation is very close. One of the most repeated 6C+ in the forest is located here: "Rund i formen, skarp i kanten". Also worth mentioning is "Ubatveggen". lt is a tall wall (but not really high-hold) with all grades on offer.
