Flentpiken 1242m, 28/10 2012
Skurvenatten 1168m



 Flentpiken, as it looks from the road north of Haglebu. It's
 a bit cold, 14 degrees below zero when I start walking. But
 the snow is a little harder than yesterday, making it easier
 to walk. I park at the same place as yesterday, on 880m
 altitude.
A look to the south from Flatvollen, towards
Bergshammaren 1263m
.
Half an hour later, now on 1100m. Fairly easy walk the last
140 altitude meters to the summit.
 In the other direction is Skurvenatten, 1168m. The summit cairn of Flentpiken, reached after a little more
than one hour from the car. Interesting that the summit
cairn is placed on top of what seems to be a megalith
.
North from the summit is the lake Piktjernet, on a high
 mountain area.
 Zooming in the peaks of Rondane, to the northeast, about
 200km away.
Straight to the north, the peaks around Hemsedal. Skogshorn 1728m, with its steep south wall a bit to the right. To the south, the area around Haglebu.
 The lake Helgesetvatnet to the east. Another zoom, towards Gausta peak 1883m, 80km to the southwest. On the way down I take the time to climb Skurvenatten as
well, since it's there. Here is Flentpiken to the right, and
Bergshammaren to the left. All the activities of the
weekend in one picture
