A telephoto of Maritinden taken from Ramfjorden.

The North ridge was climbed 6. April 2006.
A brief route description: Start from Sørbotn in Ramfjorden and follow Fagerelva (on the right hand side) up to Henrikskardet (a hanging valley). Continue up Henrikskardet to Point 903 on Fagerfjellet. From there you will have a perfect view of the North ridge. See picture below.

The avalanche danger can be very high here. You should carefully consider the snow conditions before continuing on the ridge.
An ice axe, crampons and even a rope can be necessary on this section.
