After our ascent of Austefjellet, Endre and I drove the short distance south and then northeast to Fossdalen. Here there was a marked parking lot for hikers, although we had it all to ourselves this afternoon.

From the parking lot we followed the road north for another 200 meters before crossing Fossdalselva on a stone bridge and the continuing on a sparsely marked trail to Fossdalsstølen where the trail seemed to come to an end.

The river was easily crossed just north of the cabin and from there we simply found our own way to the summit of Grønefjellet without coming across any real challenges, except for a deepening layer of wet snow.

Our initial plan had been to continue to Skorefjellet, and Endre was even considering Stendarskarfjellet, but with the light quickly fading and the snow greatly slowing our progress, we quickly agreed to rather just return the same way. Darkness fully set in before we reached the car and our headlamps were turned on for the final stretch.

With both Austefjellet and Grønefjellet crossed of the list, I have finally completed Masfjorden ≥ 100m pf.! Almost six years after my first hike in Masfjorden when I ascended Melshovden in 2019.

Takk til Endre for turen (og for alle de andre turene vi har hatt sammen i Masfjorden)!

    Gratulerer med fulført liste Masfjorden ≥ 100m pf. Ser at det måtte 2 prof... til for å klart å fullføre den listen.

      Takk, Kjell! Ville nok vært et par til med Masfjorden fullført om det ikke hadde vært for "Sør for Meinsperro" som nylig ble lagt til på listen.
