Borga from Hardbakkedalen

Started from Svartediket and from there hiked up Hardbakkedalen to get to Borgaskaret. There I followed the trail towards Grønetua, but before reaching Grønetua I turned east on a trail towards Borga. But as far as I could tell, the trail did not head to the summit of Borga, so after a while I decided to rather try the quickest route to the top, entering the Borga plateau at the northwest corner. From there I could easily follow an unmarked trail to the summit. From the summit I followed more or less the same route back to Grønteua and from there passed by Vikinghytten, before crossing Rundemanen on the way to the city center.
