Aspen

Göteborg, SE

A large crag that is very popular mostly because of many easy, bolted routes. Apart from the bolted routes there are also several trad routes here that makes Aspen a quite complete crag (except for the hardest grades). Unfortunately, the crag is a bit ledgy so the routes are not as long as you might think at first. NALLE PUH is the sector at the left end of the crag. Here you’ll find some of the best routes in Aspen (that means there are almost always climbers here). Trees shade the sector and some of the routes dry quite slowly. SHERIFFEN is the middle part of the crag with some slabby trad routes and the hardest (bolted) routes of the crag. Trees in its lower part shade the sector. Some of the cracks stay wet for a while after rain. FIKAHYLLAN is a quite small and a bit slabby sector with some of the easiest bolted routes of the guide. A perfect place for beginners. The sector is not shaded and the routes dry fast. Rest of the sectors (AMARETTO, COLUMBUS­HYLLAN, ÖVERSTA HYLLAN, HIGHWAYHYLLAN and MUMINDALEN) are quite small with up to five routes per sector. The sectors are seldom visited and the routes there (most of them are trad) are quite dirty. Of all these sectors Mumindalen (situated just above the car park) is perhaps most worth a visit with some relatively easy, bolted routes.
