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