TOP 10 TRIPS 2006 What are the rating metrics of a hike? Hard to say. But when I looked back on all of the trips and hikes in 2006, only a dozen or so, brought along emotions out of the ordinary. There was achievement, solitude, desire, fatigue, good company and many more elements. These were the top 10 trips in 2006: |
1. | Romsdalshorn | 1550m | Romsdalsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Aug 2006 |
![]() |
One of the most spectacular peaks in Norway. My second climb ever, together with Torill Berg and Tore Klokk. 5 rope lengths upwards and 5 rappels down. | |||
2. | Austerdalsberget | 1657m | Jostedalsbreen, Sogn og Fjordand, Norway | Sep 2006 |
![]() |
A big adventure with Bjørn Eirik Hanssen and Ragnar Aasgaard, involving icefalls, glacier crossing, scrambling, belays, a spectacular campsite and a descent route from hell. | |||
3. | Emdalstindane | 1452m | Sunnmørsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Jul 2006 |

A spectactular ridge traverse, along with Torill Berg, Svein A. Myhre and Einar Garshol. I will never forget this hike. | |||
4. | Bergetindane, Urfjellet | 839m | Haram, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Jun 2006 |

The finest ridge traverse in Haram kommune. I did this hike solo in June, and returned with Torill Berg, Terje Bergset and Olav Lillebø in August. Next on the agenda is a winter traverse. | |||

The first ski-trip in 2006, along with my good friend Petter Bjørstad. A wonderful peak, and I was "dead meat" after the final hill. My dog "Troll" came along on this top. | |||
6. | Romedalstinden | 1295m | Sunnmørsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Jul 2006 |

Thick fog made me think I wouldn't make it to the top of this spectactular peak, but I rose above the fog and had a great summit visit along with some hikers from Ørsta. | |||
7. | Kolåstinden | 1432m | Sunnmørsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Apr 2006 |

A very nice ski-trip (solo) to one of Sunnmøre's absolutely finest peaks. | |||
8. | Finnan | 1786m | Romsdalsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Jul 2006 |
![]() |
A marvellous traverse across Finnan and Alnestinden, ending with the very finest ski-descent from Alnestinden to Alnesreset. Skiing mates were a.o. Svein A. Myhre and Geir Ingebretsen. And the date was July 2!!! | |||
9. | Slogen | 1564m | Sunnmørsalpene, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Sep 2006 |

No peace of mind until Slogen had been visited. After a wonderful trip to Jakta the day before, my dog "Troll" and my friend Terje Bergset visited Slogen on this great September day. | |||
10. | Øspetinden | 1228m | Rauma, Møre og Romsdal, Norway | Dec 2006 |

A very strenuous hike to a splendid top, after two months of bad weather. I carried my little friend "Troll" up and down this mountain. I have seldom felt more tired, and it was a great reward to reach this top. |
