Norwegian Mountains, Møre og RomsdalSukkertoppen: "Ufseråsa" Oct 19 2007Back to the main Sukkertoppen page
"Ufseråsa" is a fun variation on Sukkertoppen's west ridge/south face. The route runs between the Trollråsa mailbox and the rock-with-the-hole-under, which marks the end of the path from the summit and down to where it gets steep on the west ridge. I asked my colleague (and friend) Olav to come along on this hike, with the purpose of documenting this route. I believe Olav has only descended Ufseråsa, and never gone up this way. I went up here a few days earlier, carrying my dog. THAT was slightly challenging. The dog is likely to fall out in awkwards positions, so one better not get into them. I brought my dog today, too. Without the dog, the next trip should be a doddle. Ufseråsa from the mailbox and up is just slightly technically harder than Trollråsa, and is FAR more exposed. While you can trust solid rock in Trollråsa, you have to trust roots and bush in Ufseråsa. And the "crux" is a long step where errors are not recommended. In general, this is true for the entire route from the long step and up to the rock-with-the-hole-under. The pictures might give you a clue. See the main Sukkertoppen page for a route description. Don't try this route unless you know what you're doing.
