Kullaberg is one of Sweden's biggest climbing areas, with about 50 crags, many of them gneiss sea cliffs that drop up to 70 meters into the water. People have climbed here for well over a century.

Most routes are traditional, protected with your own gear, but there are also some bolted sport routes. Frost breaks rock loose every winter, especially on the north side, so test your holds and wear a helmet. The standard guidebook, Klättring på Kullaberg, is in Swedish but uses photo topos and symbols that work without the language.
