Kugelhorn
Description
Kuglhorn via the East Ridge has more climbing than Stetind and is an airy and steep arete. The approach to Kuglhorn goes over Verdenssvaet; a 2 km long uphill of solid granite. Just the hike over Verdenssvaet is a great experience. We spend about 2 hours on the approach to where the climbing starts.
The climb up the ridge is airy on all sides. On the right side, you have the mighty drop down the north face. The final part of the climb sneak under and to the left of the overhanging dome on top of Kuglhorn.
Included
- We provide all necessary climbing equipment; ropes, anchors, harnesses, and helmet.
Know before you go
You are dressing for a trip in the high mountains of Northern Norway, adapted to the weather.
- Wind- and waterproof outerwear. Sweater or fleece, long underwear, hat, and gloves in cool weather.
- Mountain boots or preferably approach shoes are good. Sneakers are not suitable; soft soles are poorly suited for climbing.
- Backpack (30-40 liters) with some extra space for some of our climbing gear.
- Food and drink. Water can be refilled along the way.
- If you have long hair; bring a hair tie (so you don't have to tie it back during rappelling). Remember to trim long nails.
Ask us if you need advice on clothing and equipment for the trip.
