The summit is the most difficult to reach in Norway, there is no trail for the long approach which is often extremely diffcult terrain and the easiest route through the Northwest ridge is a mountaineer route graded 3N. It was first ascended in 1910 by Alf Bonnevie Bryn, Ferdinand Schjelderup and Carl Wilhelm Rubenson.[3]
