The Snowman. The original Sami name Muohtačorru means "The Snowy Hill". Snømannen/The Snowman is just
another example of a wrong translation
from Sami to Norwegian. It doesn´t even look like a snowman.
A brief route description of the normal route: You can start from
Storsletta, 5 km West of Kantornes in Balsfjord. Follow Mølnelva
up
to the plateau between Svartnestinden and Lavangstinden. Proceed to the
little lake Loppovatnet (601), which lies right under the South
face of Snømannen. Continue along the North shore of the lake
and climb up to the pass between Svartnestinden and Snømannen.
A short section of 40-45°. Follow the West face all the way to the
summit. There is a short section of easy scrambling near the summit.
