Øytopper over 1000m.

High temperatures and avalanche danger made me think a ridge formation would be the best option for today, and Rema1000 was still on the list. We parked just after the small bridge at Nordre Åborsneset and followed the right side of the river up towards the ridge. The first day of shorts weather for this year :) From here it was easy terrain along the ridge until around 850moh where the top flank started getting steeper. After digging a snow profile, we decided the snow was stable enough to boot up but not stable enough to ski. We parked the skiis and headed to the top on foot. Amazing views of Ringvassøya and over to Lyngen. After downclimbing to our skiis we had fantastic slush the whole way down, with the last hundred elevation or so really wet, heavy snow. Takk for turen Torbjørn!
