The first edition won the Banff Guidebook of the Year Award.

Lofoten is a magical area where towering granite peaks rise above deep blue fjords, with tiny wooden fishing villages squeezed between the mountains and the ocean. The extensive climbing is on magnificent granite cliffs and the vast majority of it is traditionally protected. There is also superb hiking, mountaineering (summer and winter) as well as skiing.

This third Rockfax guidebook to this spectacular and beautiful area builds on the success of the original 2008 volume that put Lofoten very much on the map, and the expanded 2017 edition. This latest book adds a couple of new areas and a lot of new crag photographs, plus some fantastic new maps. The coverage has been extended with new accessible crags near Narvik.

Areas covered include: The West (Helvetestinden, Merraflestinden, Breiflogtinden, Branntuva, Maslitinden, Olstinden, Ølkontinden, Reinesvaet, Ramsberg, Stortind, Eggum, Stamsund); Henningsvær (Rørvika, Pianokrakken, Djupfjord, Presten, Gandalfveggen, Festvågvegg, The Coast); Kalle (Paradiset, Vågakallen, Øverdalen, Kallebukta, Trollfestningen, Glåmtinden); Kabelvåg (Sandvika, Tjelbergvika); Svolvær (Blåtinden, Svolvær Geita, Skråpillaren); Narvik Area; Stetind; and Walking Peaks.
