Start at the road end at Djupen near Lakselvbukt (or at Forramoen in Lakselvdalen) and follow the marked path towards Rypedalsbrua, then continue up Rypedalen on the east side of Rypedalselva. Paths exist but are not always easy to follow; the terrain is easy. After about 7.5 km you reach roughly 300 m. Head for the ground just south of point 669, past a small lake, and from about 700 m climb the long north ridge, steady at about 25° with a steeper stretch between 800 and 1,000 m, to the cairn on the west summit (1,356 m), about 12 km from the start. Scree starts around 600 m; higher up there are slabs and snow well into July. From the west summit descend about 80 m to the saddle and follow the ridge east. It starts broad and narrows; rock steps on the crest are longer than they look, and you will need to drop onto the steep south side two or three times (YDS class 3 scrambling, about 1,000 m of drop below). Higher up the ridge broadens, then a small pointed top must be climbed and descended. Beyond it the crest is too steep, so climb a steep snow slope on the right (south) to regain the ridge, keep well away from cornices across a final dip and walk onto the large summit plateau. The highest point has at most a tiny cairn. Return the same way. One account reports 7 hours up and 5 down from Foramo in early-summer snow. Do not try to cross Rypedalselva higher up the valley in early summer: it is large and snow bridges are unreliable, which is why the east-side approach is preferred.
