Storsteinsfjellet

From the E6 south of Narvik turn off along the north side of Skjomen and follow the valley road to Norddalen; the upper road is private hydro-power road and in May 2016 was closed by a locked gate near the Norddalen junction (about 100 m), well over 10 km below the usual start. Fri Flyt describes parking at the road end by the path towards Čunojávri and notes the summer approach is open from June; a bike is very useful if the gate is shut. prominent-mountains.no left the road at about 650 m, opposite the side valley, and crossed the river on boulders near a small red hut; if the river is high, cross at the road bridge further up and backtrack. Head up the broad valley (Fri Flyt: turn left into a valley after about 1 km from the road end) to about 1,000 m, then turn sharply right up an easy but steeper slope south of the mountain's steep flank into a shallow valley at about 1,320 m. Continue with the steep slope on your left towards the ridge and col (1,495 m on the map), passing slightly left of its lowest point, onto the glacier. Follow the glacier on its left side, in a broad left-hand curve, to the centre of the base of the final south face at about 1,725 m. Bootpack the steep snowfield directly to the summit; with too little snow this becomes very hard, and the alternative is to go up to the col on the left and follow the ridge. Glacier retreat has made the step from ice to rock near the summit harder, often with some snow climbing; watch for bergschrunds and crevasses, which Fri Flyt calls many and deep on the upper glacier. The north side is a sheer cliff with large cornices. Descend the same way, following the ascent track.
