Sylan_2020_all_days (10.08.2020)

12 days vacation trip in Syl mountains. Starting weight of my backpack was 35kg and initial plan maximum was to finish tour in Ås or at least Ramsjøhytta with all peaks in Sylan massive together with Fongen on the list. However, my tempo was slower than expected (traveling with finger on the map is simpler), so I decided to finish trip on Nedalshytta. Unfortunately, whether collapsed for the last days and I had to back from my way on Storsylen ridge. Maybe next time ;-)

Some discoveries:
1. 0.3l of bensin is enough for 7-9 days
2. maps are a bit inaccurate (especially about streams)
3. if map is showing small slope based on 10m contour lines it does not always mean easy way (on Predikstolen western face, slope seems to be 10 degree, while it is like 5 meters wall, 20 meters flat, 5 meters wall, 20m flat, etc.)
4. hot water in tap is a luxury we should always appreciate
