Norwegian Mountains

Up Hardbakkadalen and across Vidden to Ulriken, May 01 2003

This hike started from Svartediket and continued up Hardbakkadalen. I arrived Vidden from Borgaskaret and continued over to Ulriken. I took some time to check out a couloir on the back side of Ulriken, also known as "Dødsdalen" (Valley of Death). There has been fatal accidents here. The couloir seemed quite doable, but there was a point that needed abseil. I will have to come back some time with a rope.

(Postnote: This route was done later)
