Kjuge has been discussed here before on
this thread, and I assume you’ve seen the
English language section on the
www.kjuge.nu website. A quick browse of that site seems to suggest that you can buy the guide from the café by the boulders (it might be worth checking this is still the case before you go), I visited in winter when the café was closed. It’s also been mentioned on the Forum that mosquito repellent is a good idea this time of year.
I was lucky enough to stay with a local so had almost no accommodation, food or car hire costs. The only money saving advice I can give is let your mate buy the round or consider it a teetotal holiday – alcohol is very expensive. For a rest day or evening’s entertainment the cinema in nearby Bromölla is excellent. It’s reckoned to be one of the best in Sweden, has very comfortable seats and enough leg-room to keep an NBA basketball team happy. But get there early because it does get busy.
Take care of your fingertips, the granite can be rough – it might be worth picking your projects with this in mind. The problems are excellent; I really enjoyed
Matador, Ferdinand and
Colosseum.
Caspersens Arête would be a good tick for anyone with the ability/balls (me ruled out on both counts) and this is in a good area of boulders. There is a good 6A+ here that’s a pretty tricky warm up (I’m sorry I don’t remember the name), and also
Monolith, which is stunning - unfortunately, though my mind was willing my skin wasn’t able and the tip-shredding crystal-slapping finish finished me off!
Have a great trip.
