Sennedalfjellet (1395) as seen from Sørfjorden.
A brief description of the East face route: Start from Ritaneset approx. 3 km South of the Ullsfjorden church. There´s a parking lot by the marina.
Follow Ritadalen up to Andredalen and then up to Tredjedalen. From 700 m follow the huge colouir that leads up to the glacier below the summit.
Be aware of the wet slabs below the glacier! I can only recommend this route in winter or spring when the slabs are still covered by snow.
The glacier and the scree below the summit is straightforward.
Sennedalfjellet was first climbed on August 16th 1899 by the British mountaineer Claud Rawlence together with the Swiss
guides Josef and Emil Imboden
From Alpine Journal 1900-01: New Expeditions in 1899.
SOMMERBUGTTIND (FIRST ASCENT) (aka Store Rieppefjellet, 1295 m).
On August 16 Mr. Claud Rawlence, with the two Imbodens, made the first ascent of this peak, which is visible from Holmebugt, and is to the
west of the Sørfjord. Having quitted Holmebugt at 8 P.M., they arrived on the summit at 1.30 A.M. by the East ridge. Descending in a N.W.
direction they reached a glacier lake at 3 A.M. Thence, ascending over easy rocks and traversing an upper glacier, they gained at 5 A.M.
the top of LALABAKTIND (FIRST ASCENT) (aka Sennedalfjellet, 1395 m), which is the highest summit of the group.
