On the way home from a weekend in Myrkdalen we stopped at Gullbotn for a quick ascent of Steinfjellet. This however turned out more complicated than expected and was abandoned less than 250 meters from the summit. The reason being a steep area that we did not want to attempt climbing, especially given the wet conditions. We probably could have found an alternative route, but given that this was only going to be a short hike, we instead returned to the car, leaving the final ascent for another day.
