Storvasstinden
/ Rássevárcohkka
(1377), The Lyngen Peninsula, Norway
A teleshot of the
North-West ridge and South face of Storvasstinden taken from Tennes in
Balsfjord.
The lower peak to the left is Lagofjellet (1291).
Storvasstinden was first climbed by the Germans Kurd Endell and Wilhelm
Martin in the summer of 1911.
The original route starts from Piggtindskardet and climbs the North
face to the notch between Lagofjellet and Storvasstinden,
and continues along the West ridge to the Main summit. The original
party descended the South face to Point 969 before continuing
down the East face to Lysvatnet.
