2 places booked and 2 places remaining to join me for a week of sailing to the cliffs around Stavanger on 40ft yacht as a travelling base camp from 5-11 Aug. Have a lot more info and outline itineary below. Pretty full on week with added spice of a sailing adventure ! (Just finished a similar week in Bohuslan Sweden - with pic attached of the yacht and crag 2 days ago! ).
Mainly granite sports climbing cliffs but also opportunity for multi pitch sport and trade routes. No prior sailing experience needed as you can learn on route but climbing experience needed.
I've hammered out an exciting outline itinerary ( below ) with help from local Stavanger climbers with flexibility to change depending on wishes of all on board. Happy to have a chat just call or text me on +44(0) 7775 995161. Or check out the Rogaland climbing guide.
Outline itinerary.......

Over 130 sports routes of up to 60 meters height from grade 5-7. Or opt for easy trad 40m 4+ warm up at Himlingen cliff close bye .

Or rest the arms and hike to the top of Pulpit rock and watch the base jumpers !
