Gaustakne 1524mNorway 20/9 2015





 Time for a short trek before going back to Sweden today.
 I will climb Gaustakne, here visible from the climb on  Heddersfjell. The car is best to park along the road, to the
 left in this picture
.
Here is a small lake and a parking place. This is the highest point om the road. You climb diagonally up the slopes to the left, going around the montain on the southern side.



 Up on 1325m, with Lille Gaustakne, 1443m, now visible. Lille Gaustakne is well worth climbing, and I do that first. Here's the summit cairn. It's only some 70-80 extra altitude meters, a short detour. Closest to the west is Bonsnos, 1304m.



 In the other direction is Store Gaustakne. You can easily  access it by climbing to the left, to avoid the steeper parts. The summit cairn on Store Gaustakne. Gaustatoppen,
1883m, in the background.
To the east, Heddersfjell that I climbed yesterday.



 And to the south is the road, winding down from the
 mountain towards Notodden.
