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
.

  To the east, Heddersfjell that I climbed yesterday.   And to the south is the road, winding down from the mountain towards Notodden.
