Kragerø Klatreklubb

Kragerø Klatreklubb

Kragerø Klatreklubb runs an indoor climbing wall with a bouldering area at Løkkebakken 8 in Kragerø, and also climbs outdoors around the town.

Club nights

• Tuesday: for independent climbers aged 16 and over. You need your own belay card to climb on the wall, while members can boulder without one.
• Wednesday: sessions for children up to year 7 every other week, when enough adults are there to belay (updates on the club's Facebook page), then youth and adults. Young people aged 13 to 18 can simply turn up and try.

There is no regular indoor climbing on Wednesdays during school holidays. Adult members with a top-rope card or Brattkort can use the wall every day, as long as nothing else is on.

Trying it out and belaying

The club no longer runs open-wall sessions. If you want to try climbing, you can come along on a Wednesday and climb once or twice; after that you need a top-rope card or Brattkort, or must climb with a card holder who takes responsibility for you. The club runs top-rope and lead courses from age 13, which prepare you for the top-rope card and the Brattkort, and holds the tests. Shoes and harnesses are lent free of charge.
