Haugland 2

A little bit further there is a big boulder leaning against the cliff forming a large cave. The next sector is behind and to the left of the cave.
2.1 Graduation 8+
Crimpy and powerful up the line of glue bolts. Difficult to clip the 4th bolt, not clipped on first ascent.
2.2 Video No Input 8-
First roof not as hard as it looks fine climbing through the next bulge. Named after a message that always used to appear in the auditorium.
2.3 First Generation 6+
A popular route up the groove. Leading this has been the highlight of many students climbing year.
2.4 Kåre Kalsium 7
A nice airy route up the hanging rib, technical moves lead onto the slab. Clipping the bolt on the crux is difficult.
2.5 Magne Magnesium 4+ (photo)
A top rope route for beginners. Careful with the stretch on the first moves or you could end up down a hole.
2.6 Flying Italian 6
The start of TOK climbed as a route by those who can't do the top :-)
2.7a Alting 8
The line just left of TOK (first ascent Per)
2.7 TOK 8
Interesting moves lead to a powerful finish!
2.8 Friday Film Club 8-
Long arms needed for the first roof. Would be a hard route if it wasn't possible to rest in between the two roofs.
2.9 Global Concerns 8-
Weaves it's way up some very nice rock. Final roof is a bit awkward though.
2.10 The World Today 7+
A bit spoilt by the proximity to the boulder which would be rather difficult to remove.
2.11 Bens Turkish Visa 5+
Climbs out of the darkness. Named after a student from the US who claimed he didn't need a visa when we went on a climbing project to Turkey. He did, we laughed.
2.12 CAS Diary ?
A project bolted on the overhanging side of the boulder, so called because it was never tried. It was supposed to act as an incentive to train harder but since it was so difficult it had the opposite effect. Hangers now removed.
