Hermannsdalstind

We had breakfast and left to attempt Ertenhelltind but we somehow navigated wrong (or didn't study the map close enough) and ended up before a precipice with nowhere to abseil. But anyway I was relieved because the mountain ridge we were supposed to traverse looked damn hard and scary. We decided to go back the same way, then crossed the ice and went up the ridge to Hermannsdalstind and back down the normal summer route, except for crossing the ice partly to return faster. This was a long day going up and down many altitude meters. Now we were really tired. It was good getting back to the cabin, light up the stove again and fixing some dinner. Another great day but so weary... but now I know another way to approach the mountain next time.

Close to Ertenhelltind.

Scary ridge you would need to pass.

Trying another way down.

Close to summit.
