Route description:
Ski north-west and quickly locate the small top called
Vetle Ishaug, 1303m. Pick a route that enters the small valley
between Vetle Ishaug and Store Ishaug, ski on the left hand side.
Continue directly towards Store Ishaug, quite high, the best route
is to climb right, then turn left and gain the summit area.
There is a large cairn, sort of north-east on the summit aplateau.
Comments:
I was on my way from Geilo to Øystese and decided to
make a stop before descending from Hardngervidda down the famous
Måbø valley. I parked and got organized, leaving at 1415.
The skiing was nice and problem free, I arrived at the summit by 1605.
After 10 minutes, I started skiing back down. Unfortunately, the weather just
changed from sunny to clouds. This creaated "flat light" and corresponding
difficulties in seeing the terrain. I was back at my car
at 1705.
