Introduction

This is not just a guide to the climbing at Haugland it is a Blog, as such you are invited to leave comments about the climbs.
There are two areas at Haugland, Haugland cliff and Raudbua cliff.
Climbing started at Haugland in 1995 when RCNUWC opened. After some initial exploration using traditional gear it was obvious that the college should purchase a drill. Raudbua is a more recent discovery, first dismissed as a "loose pile of". Closer investigation revealed solid clean rock under a veil of white dust.
When the first ascentionist is not mentioned it was me.
Norwegian grades are used throughout.
Since the Haugland cliff is used extensively by students there are blue cords in place so that they can pull top ropes through the anchors. Please replace these if you use them.

Here is a map:
and another one

Both cliffs get a fair amount of sun. During term time, if the sun is shining you can be almost certain to meet someone from the college at the Haugland Cliff.
