Access issues inherited from Pianokrakken

Henningsværveien is prime stalking grounds for the Vågan parkeringsinspektør. In the summer, they feast on hire cars. Parking within marked lines & away from no stopping signs (posted `M´) should keep you off the menu.

A few options for parking at this crag. Please park sensibly in one of these pullouts-

(68.187428, 14.224556), (68.189266, 14.218913) & (68.185784, 14.226230)

Approach

There is a small pulllout directly below the wall (68.192483, 14.216605).

Boulder hop from the road. The guidebook way works but it´s easier following the thin strip of vegetation up & then traversing across across the boulder field. There´s a climbers trail from the trees up & right to the base of the routes.

Descent notes

As of summer 2019, there is a bolted anchor at the top of Housewives. A single 60m will get you to the ground
