    WI4. 280m. The rightmost of the 2 deep gullies that split the North Face. Low angled at the start, possibly fills up with snow later in the season. P1: 70m, climb the narrow ice gully. P2: 70m, continue the snow and ice gully. P3: 70m, left-trending ice line with several small steeper steps. Good rock belay on the right after exiting the ice. P4: 70m, low angled snow slopes to the top. Christian Dramsdahl and Dominique Similox, 30.12.2020.

    Deep cut gully, 3+
    WI3. 240m. The wide deep gully on the left. The initial snow gully is blocked by 3 short steep ice steps, of which the 3rd represents the crux. After that the gully splits in two. The upper ice continuation straight up is the easiest way out. There is the possibility to take a steeper right-most branch of the gully that contains more ice. P1: 80m, climb the first ice step. P2: 70m, climb the second and third ice step. P3: 70m, continue up left along the main gully. P4: 20m, low angled snow slopes to the top. FA: Odd-Birger Hansen and Hans Petter Dahlslett (right exit). Dominique Similox and Eveline Mertens, 20.01.2021 (as described).

    N(ew)ice, 3+
    The ice immediately left of Deep Cut Gully can be climbed relatively easily along the right-hand side. P1: 55m, low angled ice up to a good protected belay on the right, just before the first steeper section. P2: 35m, climb a steeper section for ca. 15m before easier terrain reaches another good protected belay on the right. P3: 70m, pass a small ice step and continue up left in the main gully which holds more snow. Dominique Similox and Håvard Skomedal Torvanger, 24.01.2021

    Ørneveien, 3
    The second ice line to the left of Deep Cut Gully. Not very steep but a nice combination of snow-ice-turf early in the season / little snow. P1: 70m, low angled snow/ice. The last 35m is more continuous 50°/60° ice. P2: 70m, continue the narrow snow gully towards a small vertical ice step to the right (crux). Follow the snow gully straight on (turf early in the season). Possible belay on a rocky outcrop on the right, 10m before the summit. Dominique Similox and Eveline Mertens, 05.02.2021
