Having climbed Surtningssue the day prior and with the fantastic conditions showing no end, we searched for another 2000m peak in Jotunheimen.
Setting off from Krossbu at 13:00, we hiked the couple of km to the edge of the glacial lake at 1512masl under the magnificent Leirbrean glacier and the horseshoe of jagged fells that surround it. We were surprised by the amount of snow still on the ground: this being our first July in Norway, we were unsure whether or not this was typical for this time of year.
Following cairns and footprints in the snow, we ascended north-east towards Leirvatnet, where we watched two runners glissade down the mountainside ahead. They hopped over a snow bridge over the stream running off the lake as we took our time searching for a shallow way through.

Having spent the previous day on the popular Romsdalseggen and Blånebba, our minds were still occupied with the spectacle of the Trollveggen. We wanted to get a closer look, to really grasp its scale, and with the Trollstigen closed, we had the idea to hike to the Nordre Trolltinden summit.
Given the imposing stature of the Trollveggen, we had some nerves regarding what we might encounter on the way to Nordre Trolltinden. We had consulted Pontus, the owner of our AirBnB, about our prospective route, and he had assured us that the scrambling was more challenging than Romsdalseggen (we did not find this challenging), but the route was clear, manageable and not too exposed.
Blessed with sun, low winds and comfortable temperatures, we began with the steep climb up Norafjellet from Sogge. Winding >>>
