1st ascent!

Arne and Torgeir in front of Gjuvtinden/2113m.
No earlier records or climbing history can be found for any ascent of this remote and inaccessible peak.
In that case we are the first humans ever to set foot on this mountain!
Here we climbed it directly up front, along the very edge of its dark cliff profile to the left.
Not that difficult really, but extremely loose and eroded, so we had to scale the route during the climb.
Cautiousness certainly required - it's a looong way to help from here!
