The Ersfjordtraverse was one of the traverses I had heard about before moving to Tromsø. 18 kilometers of scrambling up and down for hours between Ersfjord and the sea sounds awesome. We decided to give it a try with Ole, with whom I had done the Jiehkkevarri traverse with skis some weeks earlier. Neither he nor I had done it before, so we were a bit unsure about what equipment we should take with us. This is the gear we carried:
60 meter single rope. I'd rather had taken 2 x 30m half ropes, but I only have one 30m, and my climbing ropes 2 x 50m seemed too much. After having done the traverse: To rappel from Skamtind one definitely needs at least 60m (50m would be too short and you don't want to be short in that rappel). However, it is possible to avoid the rappel from Skamtind via an alternative >>>
