Spiidnegáisá (1265), The Lyngen Peninsula, Norway


 

The West face of Spiidnegáisá ("Pig Mountain") as seen from Lakselvdalen.
Spiidnegáisá (a.k.a. Durmålstinden) is situated to the east of Lakselvdalen. We started from the farm Skogly in Lakselvdalen (beware of the horses!) and walked eastwards towards Rypedalen. Follow Rypedalen for approx. 5 km and climb up the south face of Spiidnegáisá towards Point 935 before proceeding up the Southwest face to the summit. Easy.
