Trollfjordveggen

Trollfjordveggen

Trollfjordveggen is the climbing hall in Hadsel Hallpark at Stokmarknes in Vesterålen. It is owned and run by Hadsel Hallpark Drift AS, a company wholly owned by four sports clubs in Hadsel, with Trollfjord AS as its main sponsor and the local climbing club, Vesterålen Vertikal, as a partner.

Climbing

• A 15-metre wall with 330 m² of climbing surface, 19 lines and around 1,600 holds, for top-rope and lead climbing.
• A separate 55 m² bouldering wall.
• An auto-belay; users must read and sign its rules first.
• Shoes, harnesses and belay devices for hire.

Belaying and courses

Everyone who belays must hold a top-rope card or Brattkort and keep it to hand. The hall runs Brattkort courses (10 hours, NOK 1,500), top-rope courses (5 hours, NOK 950), lead extensions to a full Brattkort (5 hours, NOK 850) and belay tests (NOK 350). Under-18s need a guardian's permission to use the hall.

Visiting

The hall runs as a key club. Members collect a key fob and can climb from 06:00 to 23:00 every day; visitors can climb from 07:00 to 23:00 by emailing the hall park to register a drop-in, which brings a one-time door code, and paying by Vipps on arrival. The wall is reserved on Mondays from 10:00 to 11:30 and on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:30, and it can close for larger events and courses.
