Kraft Sportssenter Narvik

Kraft Sportssenter Narvik is the sports centre of Samskipnaden, the student welfare organisation, on UiT's campus at Lodve Langes gate 2 in Narvik. Besides strength, cardio and group training, it has a climbing hall and a bouldering room. Every membership includes climbing once you meet the climbing rules, and anyone can buy a drop-in.

Climbing

• A climbing hall with over 500 m² of climbing surface and 13.5 m rope walls for lead and top-rope climbing at every level, with four fixed top ropes.
• Two TruBlue auto-belays, for climbers weighing 10–150 kg.
• A 3.5 m bouldering room with a chaos wall, a circle wall and a MoonBoard.
• Shoes, harnesses, ropes and belay devices can be hired, or a climbing package for NOK 115, while reception is staffed.
• Kraft runs climbing courses through the year.

Rules

Everyone signs a self-declaration before climbing. To belay or use the auto-belays you need a Brattkort, a top-rope card (Topptaukort) or an equivalent, which you must be able to show. Under-18s without a Brattkort need an adult with one present and must register at reception; children who can't climb may only use the bouldering room, supervised by an adult. Members with a Brattkort can bring children free during staffed hours. Climbing shoes, or clean trainers, are required.

Opening hours

Members and drop-in visitors, who get a door code by SMS, can come in every day from 05:00 to midnight. Reception is staffed Monday to Thursday 11:30–20:00, Friday 11:30–15:30 and Sunday 16:30–20:00.
