Husafjellet and Storenipa
After visiting Sverrestuven and Middagshaugen, me and Endre (Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen)) concluded our trip by following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) for our visits to Husafjellet and Storenipa. We started from the small parking lot in Straumsdalen, and from there followed the gravel road south.
Shortly before getting to the U-turn, Endre got bored of following the road and wanted to head more directly towards the summit. We therefore decided to split up and see who would make it to the summit first. Endre climbed up to the east while I continued along the road for another 100 meters or so before starting my own ascent (not requiring any climbing).
I left the road shortly after coming across a warning sign for a shooting range up ahead, and quickly located a deer track that I could more or less follow all the way to the summit, thus making the ascent a lot easier than expected. Endre had of course reached the summit before me, via more or less the same route for the last stretch, and I found him just below the summit enjoying the excellent views down to Straume.
The idea of continuing north in the direction of Storenipa was quickly abandoned, as the terrain did not look very inviting, and we instead descended along more or less the same route back to the gravel road, which we then followed back to the car, before directly starting our ascent to Storenipa along the tractor road to Kleiva.
At Kleiva, a marked trail indicated the route to Storenipa, which we easily followed all the way to the summit. Decent views from the summit, although not at the level of the views from Middagshaugen or Husafjellet. We did not stay long before starting our descent along the same trail, making it to the car before it got dark enough to require headlamps.
