St. Soleibotntind 2083m July 2007


     


 

St. Soleibotntind is in Hurrungane, the south part of Jotunheimen. You can reach the mountain from the road between Övre Årdal and Turtagrø, where you can park at 1200m. Here the road is seen from about 1350m.
In the other direction is st. Soleibotntind. You climb along the rigde that can be seen at the right side of the peak. On the way up I try to go around the snowfields.





Up at almost 2000m altitude. The peak of Augustabotntindane, 2204 m, is in
clouds now.
A look at the northwest. You can catch a glimpse of Josterdalsbreen in the distance.





There is a lot of snow on the mountains. The picture is taken towards the
southwest.
At the summit, 2083 m. Apart from the clouds, cold, stormgusts and rain everything is ok.





On the way down I go straigt over the snowfields, witch saves a lot of time. You
can walk much faster than jumping from rock to rock. I wouldn´t mind a couple
of skis...
A look at the northeast and Steindalsnosi.





Now the weather is really turning ugly. I hurry down the last bit and reaches my car just as the rain starts to pour. The whole trip took less than 4.5 hours.
