Saltdalstindene is a group of six peaks located to the East of Saltdalen in Ramfjord. They have no names on the map, so I have given them
the name Saltdalstindene, but I will investigate this further. They must have a Sami name. We couldn´t find any signs of any previous visitors
on the summit of Point 1324 (i.e. no cairn), so this was probably a first ascent!!
A brief route description: The North West ridge route starts from the glacier to the North of the summit. Some sections of grade III.
About the descent: We descended by partly abseiling down the South ridge before climbing straight down the West face. Don´t do this!
This is one of the worst descents I have ever experienced! And it´s very dangerous in terms of rockfalls, avalanches, loose scree, etc.
It´s better to descend the North West ridge.
First ascent of Saltdalstind Point 1324: Bjørn Arntzen and Geir Jenssen, 2. August 1994.
