Description

Join me on this 1-day rock climbing trip and reach the summit of Stetind (1392 m), Norway's national mountain! This stunning peak is an impressive high granite monolith. It has an obelisk shape that gives it a unique look.

The Stetind lies in Tysfjord, about an hour drive from Narvik. Most important, I can assure the view from the top is unforgettable!

We will start our climb from the parking lot at the foot of the west ridge of Stetind. From that point, we will hike for about 3 to 4 hours to the Halls fortopp, the east summit. The last stretch to the main summit goes along the east ridge, the normal route. Our climb here will be mostly easy but airy scrambling.

Then, about half way along the ridge, we will find a marked crux known as Mysosten. This is where we will have to climb up an impressive 15-20 meter portion (norwegian grade 4+). It has an 800 meter fall straight down to the valley below us!

We will climb about 1400 meters to the summit of Stetind. It is 10 kilometres in length approximately. Also, getting to the summit and back will take us between 10 to 14 hours.

In order to join this climb you need to have experience in rugged terrain. Besides, although you don't need to be an experienced climber, you should feel comfortable in exposed and airy terrain.

Would you like to join me on this exciting ascent to the Stetint? Then contact me and I will give you more information. We will enjoy an amazing climb! And if you're looking for a more challenging ascent, I also offer a Stetind ascent by the South Pillar.

Mountain Guide

I was born and raised in the town of Narvik in northern Norway. As the case has been with generations of norwegians, my parents took me with them on trips into nature and up on the mountains even before I was able to walk by myself. When I was able to stand up, my father bought me my first pair of slalom skis and we went skiing in the slopes on the local resorts. From there, the love of nature and the mountains has continuously grown and eventually evolved into a wish to bring others and let them experience and explore together with me.

Today nature and the mountains are my "office", where I work all year round with guiding, as an instructor and tutor on different courses and as an observer for the avalanche forecasting service. Over the years I have worked and guided all over Norway, but it is the north that is home and here I spent most of my time. So come with me into nature and up on the mountains and explore the wild nature of northern Norway. Skitours in Narvik and Lyngen or climbs to Norway's national mountain of Stetind are just some of the adventures I can offer you, but the mountains up here in the north are almost limitless in abundance and possibilities.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
