The area from Flekkefjord to Egersund mainly consists of anorthosite. On a global scale, it is a quite rare type of rock, yet everyone has seen it – that’s because the light parts of the moon consist of anorthosite!

CLIMBING AND VIA FERRATA
TROLLPIKKEN
Anorthosite and gneiss are both sustainable and solide magmatic rocks. They are highly suitable for climbing and bouldering. There are marked climbing routes all over the geopark, but especially in Eigersund and Sokndal. You will also find that there are many routes with bolts ready to use. If you are in a good physical shape and have some experience in climbing you can get access to Via Ferrata Migaren and rent climbing gear. See www. magmageopark.no
