Nibbi 1741m, 4/6 2011
Skarvanfjellet 1735m







Nibbi, close to Hemsedal, is in the middle of the picture. To the right are the
steep cliffs leading up towards Skogshorn.
By the parking place at Løkjestølane on 940m altitude. The final part of the road is a payroad. (40Nkr).



The cliffs towards Skogshorn are quite impressive. The trail follows the stream, with its melting water falling down the mountain.





The same stream, now on 1400m. Skarvanfjellet is in the background. Marcus and Daniel are contemplating the enigmas of life, at 1500m altitude. Skogshorn rises in the background.





The summit cairn of Nibbi, 1741m, reached after 2,5h. The picture is taken
towards the south.
To the north the peaks of Jotunheimen are visible. They say there is a lot of snow there this year.





Time to move on towards Skarvanfjellet. This snowfield doesn't seem to present
any difficulties at first
.
But then we see the steep fall with an overhang just ahead of us. We move, as the tracks show, carefully down and glide the last part.






The summit cairn of Skarvanfjellet, 1735m. Apart from the steeper section, the
route was without any problems and took about half an hour. Daniels sweater
temporarily embellish the cairn.
Descending again.
