Ascents	Falsnestinden (1,059m)	29.07.2019

I started an vanlife trip number 4 to Lyngen alps from Lappeenranta, Southern Finland.

Few friends joined me after few days in Kilpisjärvi. Then we headed down for the Skibotn and thought that the weather is maeby good enough to climb one peak that has been bullying me for several years.

After my service for finnish army, i decided to do something to remember for rest of my life. In 2016 i headed up to north and wanted to climb mountains. I selected one peak to summit and that was the Falsentinden. If i knew what kind of peak it was, i would chose differend one, but this was the one i choose.

I had eaten way less than i supposed to and my aerobic capacity was way too low for this one. But still.. i pushed up to about 800m. I was shaking and really lost with my mind and i was thinking is this really this hard.. I turned around with shaking legs and man i was pissed of.. But this is how my hobby was started.

Here are two photos from 2016.

Three years later i was again in Lyngen with my friends and there was an opportunity to hit Falsnestinden again.

We headed up.

We kept an brake in 550masl inside the krigsminne kottage. Then we headed steaper trail up for summit. After about 100m rest of the crew decided to go around. I wasnt ready to call it again. I continued alone to summit.

I was on the summit about in an hour. What a feeling. After three years i finally made it!
