Skarlitinden
937 metres of ascent over 6.34 km from Sandeggen on Breivikeidet to the cairn at 857 — a KAST 1 tour with the steepest point under 27 degrees on the route itself, where the surrounding terrain is the story: the river valley you follow can act as a terrain trap for avalanches off the slopes to the north, and the couloirs on the southeast side fall 41 degrees mean toward the valley you came from. The line collects a hundred-odd vertical metres more than the source's 835, because the col and the plateau give back 110 along the way.
