Gjømmertinden / Gealberčohkka (1101), Tromsø, Norway


 

Gjømmertinden as seen from Balsfjorden.

Gjømmertinden is situated to the north of Laksvatn in Balsfjorden.
A brief description of the North ridge route: Start from Laksvatnet and ski up Gjømmerdalen to the end of the valley. Turn
North-Eastwards and proceed up the huge moraine / hanging valley that leads all the way up to the pass between Gjømmertinden and
Gjømmerdalsbreen.
Climbing the North ridge is straightforward with two sections of approx. 45.∘An ice axe and a pair of crampons should be sufficient.
