Check out the area round Trondheim, plus bung a harness in for the sport crag at Hell (it's only 10-12 metres high) Some good stuff near Stavanger and apparently check out Romdalen (sp?), although I managed to miss it :oops:

The bouldering in Rogaland is great! Some info here:

Lysebotn, Eiane and the areas around Sirevaag has some nice bouldering in beautiful settings.

Romsdalen is another world class area.
I havent found any online guide but you can order one here:

"buldrefører" means guidebook.

2 hours from Bergen is a good place called Odda:

And then there is Nissedal in Telemark, truly classic!

That should cover some of the better areas in the southern part of Norway. For the north I haven´t got a clue, but Lofoten is supposed to be great!

Near Trondheim there is Trolla  in the woods - only a few boulders but quite nice if you have some mossy repellent.  You also have Korsvika, right  on the shores of the fjord - pleasant enough up to about V5.

Best place I found was Harbak, about 100km north of Trondheim.  A field full of perfect granite boulders with stunning views/solitude and only 5 minutes flat walk from the road.  There doesn't seem to be a guide for this place, only directions, but you wouldn't need one

There is a Trondheim climbing guide, which you can buy locally.  It is in English too, which is a bonus.
