Ulriken

Quick hike to Ulriken as part of a competition at work for the fastest time from Montana to the upper station of Ulriksbanen. However, I managed to make wrong turn halfway and ended up on the old trail instead of the agreed upon new stone steps. Realizing that my time would not be valid, I lost most of my motivation and slowed down before reaching the top, ending up at 26 minutes and 43 seconds. After a short break I made a detour to the actual summit of Ulriken, before returning back down to Montana. Not the most interesting hike now what one can follow stone steps almost all the way to the upper station of Ulriksbanen. Feels more like a workout than hiking...
