Dry tooling in Stockholm?

Well now that the ice is all gone and the weather is so nice, I'm ready for an aftermath. I found this:

and

in the forum, but is there more places to practice some dry tooling?

Hi. I think that's pretty much the places you will find other climbers doing some dry-tooling in Stockholm.

But I think that the crags at Häggsta and Grönbrinksberget (both south of Stockholm) will be quite ok for dry-tooling.

Good luck and if you find out some more places I think you should post it here.

Grönbrinksberget is one of the most classic, and celebrated, crags in the Stockholm area and dry-tooling there will probably be met by some "resistance". So avoid dry-tooling there to keep the climbing community happy.

Also, it's slab climbing, hardly ideal for dry-tooling. Instead, look for at least vertical climbs, otherwise it's hardly worth the effort. There are some areas with aid-climbing routes such as Lord Hård väggen Dyvik in Tyresö which might be better suited. Also, there are loads of possibilities at "Noret", also situated in Tyresö, to the (climbers) which is very seldomly visited by other climbers and with some potential for aspiring dry-toolers =)

Hm. there are problably more areas that are good so good luck and keep looking for good areas!
