Store Kjostinden (not summited) (18.09.2018)

Vanlife trip from Lappeenranta, southern Finland continues.
Expedition minded ascent for the Store Kjostinden. We climbed just to see, if its possible maeby to climb up to summit some day on summer time..?

Despite the bad weather, we decided to head up. Ended up about 900m on time of the sunset. Took some drone shots for the video and i took some stills with dslr. Here is the end result of the video for the whole trip! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO3e4F8O_go

The ascent was simple but there were bit more loose sand and rocks than i thought. Descenting almost like skiing on loose sand.

Clouds were about on 1000m masl. 900masl was an perfect spot to turn around and take a little brake before heading back down.
