 The route traverses the mountain by ascending the West face and descending the East ridge.
A brief route description: Follow Steindalsbreen up to the West face of Nállancohkka. Beware of huge crevasses on the glacier. The West face
was climbed by following a snow slope. Easy. The East ridge has some very steep sections where a rope can be necessary.
Follow the East ridge to the saddle between Nallancohkka and Gaskacohkka.
Climbed by Bjørn Arntzen, Geir Jenssen and Torgeir Kjus, 5. August 1987.
