South Pillar of Stetind

Stetind (1391m) is Norway’s “National Mountain” and for a good reason.  It is by far the most unique and beautiful peaks in the the country.  The shape, location, and rock quality makes Stetind an irresistible mountain to climb on.  If your looking for a long aesthetic rock climb with splitter cracks and solid granite look no further than the South Pillar of Stetind.  Located at the head of Tysfjord, Stetind dominates the ski line with its unique shape and sharp lines rising straight up from the fjord.  This climb will take you thru a magical coastal forest, then alpine lakes, too a clean granite pillar with sustuaned fun climbing all the way to the large flat summit!
