Helgeland, Norway
Climbed September 27th 2003
Information:
How to get there:
This mountain is located on the island Alsten on
the Helgeland coast in Northern Norway. A good starting
point is the small village Sandnessjøen.
Sandnessjøen can be reached by air or by car from Mosjøen
(on the main Hwy. E-6) via Hwy. 78 and Hwy. 17, a distance of 68 km.
One can also travel north or south along the coastal highway 17 to
Sandnessjøen.
From Sandnessjøen, travel about 2 km south along Hwy. 17, locate a sign to
the "Syv Søstre" (Seven Sisters) and Breidmo on a smaller road going left.
Follow this road almost 4 km and locate a new sign "Syv Søstre" pointing
left, this short road leads to parking next to a small power transformer station.
Route description:
This route is described under the Botnkrona entry. Comments:
This is the fifth of the seven sisters when numbered north to south.
My GPS indicated that the elevation of this peak was higher (about 5 meter) than
the map value of 980 meter. Since the GPS was very consistently in agreement on
the other summits, this is a little mysterious.
I did this climb with my friend Arnt Flatmo, see Botnkrona for
more comments.
