Ellendalstinden / Ellevátgáisi (1345), The Lyngen Peninsula, Norway

 

A telephoto of Ellendalstinden taken from Lakselvdalen.

A brief route description: Start from Djupen in Lakselvdalen and walk approx. 3 km into Ellendalen. Continue into the nameless valley
between the South Face of Ellendalstinden and the North face of Guhkesgáisi (
Langdalstindene). Keep to the East of Point 1018 and
continue up easy slopes to the col between Ellendalstinden and Imagáisi. From the col follow the East ridge on moderately steep snow up
to the foresummit. The last 175 m along the East ridge to the Main summit is very exposed and will require a rope, a few cams and a couple of
snow anchors.


Climbed by Bjørn Arntzen and Geir Jenssen, 19. April 1984
