The twin summits of Steindalstinden as seen from Storfjorden. The East summit (left) is 1504 m while the west summit (right) is 1511 m.

  A brief route description of the West summit route: Follow Steindalsbreen up to approx. 700 m. Turn South and scramble up the East face of
Imagaisi
on exceptionally loose terrain towards the col between Imagaisi and Steindalstinden. Follow the lower part of the glacier on the East
 face.
This route is exposed to rock fall!
From the col scramble up the West ridge until you reach the plateau at 1400 m. The last kilometre is just an easy walk.

Climbed by Geir Jenssen and Allan Sande, 31. July 1984.
