Information:

How to get there: This summit can be approached from the huts Memurubu, Gjendebu or Leirvassbu.
Route description: We started from Leirvassbu, this is perhaps a bit unusual and probabely a longer hike (partly without a trail) than a more normal start from the Gjende lake. The climb from west side follows a clear trail and is an easy walk.
Comments: Has a reputation for having the best view in Jotunheimen. Whether this is because you then cannot see Surtningssui is an issue of some controversy.
We continued from this summit a long traverse to Veoskar. This interesting route is further described under the description of Store Memurutind, 2364m.
