Litltind 717m (Mjellefjellet), Norway 23/10 2016





 Mjellefjellet can be found about 20km north of Bodø. Here
 are the peaks Breitinden, Valviktinden and Litltind. The
 climb to Litltind is from the right in this picture.
The starting point at 50m altitude. From here it's easy to
follow the path leading up towards the summit. (Although I actually took the wrong route on my descent, giving me a detour...)
Steigtinden 793m, very steep.
 Mistfjorden to the northeast. Looking south towards Bodø from less than 500m. The summit is quite sharp with a drop to the north. The
official altitude 717m might possibly be a bit low. My
 altitude meter shows 735m. But it's not a totally accurate instrument, so...
 The somewhat higher peak Valviktinden (780m) to the  west. You have to descend quite a bit before climbing that  one, so I leave it. The ferry is crossing the fjord. Looking south towards Bodø.
 Zooming in to the south. Zooming in Steigtind 793m. I believe this is Småtindan 1320m, south of Bodø.

 Mistfjorden far below and Lofoten towards the horizon in
 the background

Zooming in towards Lofoten.
