Tom Randall Instagram – Sweden is home to the granite trad climbing paradise of Bohuslän, which until this past summer I’d never been to unbelievably🙈. @petewhittaker01 has been climbing over here for fairly regularly for the last 10yrs and has always been telling me about how incredible it is… he’s not wrong!
As the Peak District is home to some of the UK’s most obsessed and dedicated trad and crack climbers, I thought the best possible way to experience my first trip to Bohuslän would be to combine a group of Brits with an equally psyched group of keen Swedes! The trip worked out absolutely amazing, with a grand tour of some of the best crags in the area and despite the toasty temps, loads of classics were done and jamming fully invested in.
If you’re into either trad in general or crack climbing specifically, I can’t recommend the area enough. You can have a brilliant trip whether you’re climbing VS, E3 or E7! The amazing thing is that the climbing is actually very varied as well. There’s face, crack and arête and due to the number of crags you just can’t run out of options.
Many thanks to @philippklein in joining us on the week of granite shenanigans and capturing the vibe of the area with his mega photos as usual. Also to all the keen Swedish and British crack samplers… you’ve only got yourself to blame 😅
