Grååsen

The final peak on me and Endre's seven mountain hike in Masfjorden was going to be Grååsen but the main question was now whether we could complete the ascent and still get to the ferry in time? When we returned to the car after the ascent of Klettane, we decided to give Grååsen a go as well. The good thing was that it was on the way to the ferry at Duesund. We drove south and found parking at the start of a tractor road that would take us almost all the way to the summit.

As we began the hike it was getting dark and the headlamp was turned on as we approached the summit. The final ascent from the tractor road to the summit required a tiny bit of light scrambling but this can most likely easily be avoided if visiting in the daylight and not being short on time to catch a ferry. We returned along more or less the same route and even had the time to change before driving to Duesund where we arrived with a couple of minutes to spare before the ferry transported us across the fjord to Masfjordnes for the drive back to Bergen.

With seven summits visited and with better weather and views than expected, this made for a very successful day of peak bagging in Masfjorden!

Takk for turen, Endre!
