© Nic Bullivant From parking at S end of Sifjordskarettunnelen (186m) by narrow wooded trail emerging to heath, waymarked as far as Norddalsvatnet. Steep turf-covered slope on occasional paths to Husfjellet 515m. After some deliberation decided to try the obvious ridge leading to Askjelfjellet. Rounded some gendarme pinnacles easily on S side and reached summit. Very faint path in places. Very pleased. We had no fore-knowledge or guide, no waymarks or anyone else to follow. Returned to Husfjellet and down the same way. If we had given ourselves more time, Lendepolltindan would have been tempting too.
