Ascents Sjursviktinden (837m) 31.07.2024

From near Finnjorda by Storvatnet to Lyshorntinden, retreated from connecting ridge to Storvatnet and rejoined main path to Sjursviktinden.
Sjursviktinden is reached by a broad, popular path. The side peak of Lyshorntinden (omitted from PB), is not frequented. The route took me across the outflow from a large lake (Storvatnet). Had a brief detour to Nordtuva (another missing PBE) from which I could see there was one possible weakness in a line of cliffs defending Lyshorntinden. This gave the route to the summit of Lyshorntinden. Unfortunately, the ridge North to Sjursviktindan proved too narrow and difficult for me to attempt to traverse it on my own and without a rope. So I retraced my steps, found the way down through the crags, and walked round Storvatnet to join the main path to Sjursviktinden. Reached without difficulty. Descended the main path.
