A short description of the East face
route: start from the gravel pit near Djupen in Lakselvdalen and follow
the dirt road up Ellendalen to this hydroelectric dam
(under construction right now).
Continue to the bottom of Ellendalen
and climb up to the col between Sfinxen (left) and Imagáisi´s North
face.
A brief route description: Start from Djupen in Lakselvdalen and walk
approx. 3 km into
Ellendalen. Continue into the nameless valley
between the South Face of Ellendalstinden
and the North face of
Guhkesgáisi
(Langdalstindene).
Keep to the East of Point 1018 and
continue up easy slopes to the col between Ellendalstinden and
Imagáisi.
The West ridge can be very icy and windblown, so bring a
pair of crampons and an ice axe.
