Lundenesgalten
788 metres of ascent over 4.65 km from Lundenes church to Lundenesgalten — the great mountainside you see from Harstad, and the one plenty of people grow up with as their dream peak. Fri Flyt rates it KAST 2 – Challenging, puts an ice axe and crampons on the list, and dates a fatal avalanche on that same side: Easter 1969. Grade 3.
Elevation profile
788 metres of ascent over 4.65 km from Lundenes church: the tractor road along Forselva to Storskogbakkan at 212 — then the whole great south face up to 787.
From the small car park at Lundenes church — 5 m — the tractor road runs inland along Forselva, and it is mapped: the line sits on road from 13 to 184 m. The band from 0 to 100 m measures a mean 3.7 degrees over 1572 metres of ground, and 100 to 200 m measures 5.1 over 1080. The first half hour is approach, not climbing.
