About Paradiset — Kalymnos Wall
The most user-friendly Lofoten venue, on the road out to Henningsvær. Paradiset is a compact valley of granite walls and boulders around a small lake, with the south-facing Kalymnos-Wall as its centrepiece — steep, pockety sport climbing on grey compact granite (hence the name). Short approach (5-15 min), south aspect, and dozens of bolted lines make it the go-to Lofoten crag when Presten and Vågakallen are wet or foggy. The bouldering scattered through the valley is world-class — Ola Wall, Cava, Golfball. Kalymnos-Wall sits low and open so it dries very quickly after showers; the sport routes are climbable within an hour of rain stopping in a breeze. Bring midge protection — the still water and marshy ground breed them from late June through August.
