About Uskedalen (Ulvanosa)

Locals call Uskedalen the "Norwegian Yosemite" — Ulvanosa's granite walls rise a full 1,000m above the valley floor and stretch continuously for 3 km, offering some of the longest and finest big-wall trad routes in northern Europe. The rock is thick-grain Precambrian granite with supreme friction on solid rock — a paradise for corners, chimneys, and crack climbing on natural pro. Routes commonly follow crack systems then step out onto slab sections between crack systems, requiring several moves of slab climbing to reach the next placement. 78 documented trad routes 100-860m long, mostly Norwegian 5-6+ (F5-F6a+). The wall faces north-east so it's shaded most of the day (excellent friction, slow drying — treat it as a rain-shadow crag it isn't). Village of Uskedalen is ~2 hours south of Bergen; expect one other party at most, usually just sheep for company.
