And by the way, just saw your blog. Like it ! “Fighting everyday dullness with snow”. Fantastic. You sound like someone after my own heart. We should go out for some turns. Let me know if you fancy.

Cool, thanks. I think I get the idea. Just wanted as much as possible to duplicate your route to avoid any unseen cracks in the glacier. So, from your description and the map i’m guessing that after the dam you go over a little bump, and then veer right and climb the glacier on the skiers right?
We might head up there tomorrow, but none of us have been at that particular mountain before so just wanted to check in with those in the know…

Hey Trond,

Good question and to be honest I’m not actually sure. We drive on the road that goes from Lom, past Krossbu and to Steindalsnosi that way (I think the road is 55). We park the car at the side of that very same road and skin from the car. The most obvious point of orientation to know that you are on the same skin track as us is that you have to go over a dam. That’s probably the biggest give-away as to which route we take. Unfortunately, I don’t tend to take a GPS with me for these sorts of trips, so don’t have a tracklog. Route finding is really easy from the road though. There is actually a small road that takes you to the damn (ca. 700m long) and then you walk over the damn and head for the mountain after that.

I hope that gives you a better idea of the route taken. Give me a shout if I can be of more help!

What route do you follow up? do you attack from the North (Hervavatnet) or west (Gjuvassbukti)? If you have a tracklog or anything from one of your trips up there and wouldn’t mind sharing – please do!
