The guide will meet you in our office in Tore Hjorts Gate 17 to distribute equipment and have a quick talk about the day. We will drive to the parking after all equipment are packed and everyone are ready to go.

The approach: A 45 min hike up stairs and a steep trail will bring us to the start of the climb.

The climbing: There are two pitches to the top. We will do each of them in the same style. The guide will first climb up and after that he or she will belay you from the top. After you reach the top of the horn and have taken pictures the guide will lower you all the way to the ground.

The descent: We will hike down the same way we hiked up. If you are interested in hiking further up to Djeveltanna let the guide know before tour start.
