Hiking to Store Russetinden

August 1st 2010, a group of 30 and I went hiking to Store Russetinden (1405 m) by Nordkjosbotn. This was a peak I had waited a long time to climb; it is considered a landmark and is the tallest peak visible from Nordkjosbotn. We spent 3h 23min to the top, and 2h 22min down again; the pace was very calm!
