Description
From the peak, keep going towards the next, smaller peak, keep right. As you descend further, keep right to avoid the cliff band on your left. Good visibility needed to do this 100% safely.
Descend down to Tindstua, and then skin back up.
Alternatively, if you're tired, skin back to the car in front of the Eidvågtind face.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
