| JuhoK | SW ridge, traversing Ymmelstinden and Storjuvtinden  Date Climbed: May 26, 2013 | |
| Early summer season climb! Approached through Svellnosbrean glacier and put tents up just under the ridge. Nice ridge climbing requires some rappels and III+ rock climbing sections. But nothing too difficult. One of the best routes up to the highest mountain in Northern Europe. | |

| Metalliwelch | Day to remember | |
| No real experience required. It is a long plod with an easy scramble. Fitness, warm clothes, and food are the only things you need in summer. It is SO worth it, breathtaking views of gigantic glaciers, distant mountains all from the highest mountain in Scandinavia :) Began in sunny conditions, but summitted in a blizzard as weather changed, adding to the thrill. Jogged down the mountain to Spiterstulen for 9pm (late start I know), relaxed with a glass of wine and cards in the log cabin by a fire. What could be more perfect? 10/10. | |

| It was suppose to rain so we hurried up the mountain and reached the summit in 3,5 hour. Our reward was a 360 degree panorama view! Lovely! But later when we got back to Spiterstulen it started to rain...and it never stopped, so we went home to Sweden. | |

| Me and my girlfriend Åsa climbed Galdhøpiggen from the Jyvvas hytta across the Styggebraen-glacier. Our descent was via the Spiterstulen-route. We were the first party on the glacier at around 08:00 hrs. Later during the day huge parties of 30-40 people crossed the Styggebraen. (Guided groups from Jyvvas hytta). No early alpine starts over here.... | |

| Jukka Ahonen | Route climbed: from Spiterstulen in changing weather Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2010 | |
| A nice climb from Spiterstulen. We started the day around 7 AM in nice, sunny weather, which unfortunately went from bad to worse on the way up. By the time we reached the top, we had strong winds, the rain was a mix of water and sleet, and it was hard to stand up. The weather continued to get worse when we descended from the mountain, and a lot of groups decided to turn back, so we had made it just in-time. According to discussion inside the summit hut, the previous night had been the prettiest on the mountain that whole year - just our luck! The climb took us around 7 hours, including some rest at the summit hut. | |

| Nice and sunny day. Florence and I started at 9h00am from the parking, we reached summit at 13h30. As it was packed, we ate with pleasure some "sardines". After coffee and chocolate we did some pictures and headed down, enjoying "bottom ski" when possible. We reached the parking at 17h45. We refreshed our feet in the glacial river before heading to a deserved shower and dinner in Lom. Beautiful climb and successful iniatiation for Florence. | |

| Warm and sunny day. Early start in Spiterstulen. 3,5 h to the summit. Back in Spiterstulen at 2:30pm. Nice area. Soft and deep snow at the afternoon are difficult for hikers with late start. | |

| Bringing along our children of 6 and 8 years we took the guided tour. When crossing the glacier they tied us all, maybe 30 persons, to the same very long rope! We didn't see any crevasses though. The snow was quite deep, and the weather was cold, overcast, and foggy with absolutely no view from the summit! Very disappointing. | |
