How to get there:
The access road starts at N60.13105, E6.32541, this is about one kilometer
from the exit of the long tunnel from Odda to the west side of the Folgefonnen glacier
tunnel. Drive this road uphill until you arrive at a sign saying that it is forbidden
to drive any more. There is parking on the left hand side here. This location, the
trailhead is near N60.11522, E6.34321, elevation 608 meter.
Route description:
This route is marked with orange and red paint, however in some places these are
hard to see and follow. Walk up the road about 50 meter from the trailhead. Look for
red paint on a rock and also on a tree a bit higher.
Go up here, then turn right and
follow a fairly steep, but pretty obvious ramp that continues all the way until the
terrain becomes more gentle. From here, make a left turn followed by a right, the terrain
is pretty clear on where to go. You will next descend a bit and cross a section with
boulders. On the other side, you should find a tiny trail that climbs uphill. Continue to
follow this, staying to the left, in a gully in the uppermost part.
You will reach a saddle, descend just slightly around a big boulder, then ascend again following
a tiny trail. When reaching more gentle terrain, just move left
and ascend on easy slopes to the summit.
Follow my descent track here.

Comments:
We (Harald and I) had climbed Nordlifjellet.
The day was nice and it was very tempting to do another "bonus" peak before the long drive
back to Bergen. The ascent took 55 minutes and we spent about the same time descending.
Many thanks to Harald for being such a good hiking buddy.
