Started by taking the bus to "Helldal skule" and locating the start of the trail towards Helldalsåsen. The quality of the trail was quite good at the start and I quickly arrived at the small plateau south of the summit, just above the houses at Helldalsneset. Here the trail stopped, and I had to start making my own way towards the summit.

The progress was at first rather slow, as it mainly consisted of going under/over/around trees that were crisscrossing the path, leftovers from both recent and older storms. This cleared up a bit after a while, but increased again when approaching the summit, which was actually the most difficult section to traverse.

The summit provided limited views, but due to the power lines crossing over the summit there was at least a bit of open space. However, the trees that had been cut down, in order to not grow tall enough to reach the lines, were all left as additional obstacles one had to pass to reach the summit.

From the summit I followed a similar route back down, but with a minor shortcut to avoid some of the areas with the largest amount of trees blocking the way. The hike was then concluded by walking to the bus stop next to "Helldal skule" for the bus back to the city center.

In summary, Helldalsåsen is clearly another one of those peaks that nobody but those collecting the "Bergen ≥ 50m pf. og ≥ 100 m.o.h." list will feel the need to visit.
