The bigger of the two Festvåg cliffs has a high concentration of good routes with easy access and it is quick drying with a sunny aspect. Approach - As for Lille Festvåg but, just uphill from the old granite block foundation, head to the right through several large boulders, then follow the Festvågtinden track up the back of the valley until you can traverse horizontally left across a very loose scree slope to the cliff base - take care! Descent - Walk down around the cliff’s right-hand side, back past the base of Skiløperen.
