Sveningen via Drogegjelet, Sep 10 2004

Back to the main Sveningen page.


This hike went up the Drogegjelet couloir on a beautiful September evening. I continued across the high ridge to Sveningen and descended into Brekkedalen through the northeast ridge. I left the Haugsdal trailhead 17:10PM and returned 20:45PM. The main purpose of this hike was to do research on an adjacent couloir. I left Drogegjelet at approx. 430m and turned left into the other couloir. The terrain was steep and slippery grass and scree made walking difficult. I ran into a rock which blocked the way. On my own, I could have climbed up here, but not with the dog. Besides, not knowing the upper terrain, I would have liked to have the possibility to rappel down. I will back with more info from this couloir later.
