To the east of this ridge stretches a valley slope, which is followed upwards. Be aware that between 400-500 meters above sea level, there are smaller parts that are 30-35 degrees and that the sides of the valley are steeper. The valley is a potential terrain trap. At about 650 m one can lay the track a little more to the west before touring towards the highest point on "Steinskardtinden".
