Great stuff. Unfortunately, I can't speak Swedish :) Have you started at STF Sylarna and made your way around to Storsola? I still can't find if the whole traverse can be done without any climbing gear - seems that you made it pretty well alone! Cheers.

Hey Alex! Glad you liked it :D I camped south of the massif with my start and end point at Nedalshytta on the Norwegian side of the border. The true traverse is over the pillars up to the Temple via the eastern ridge and then on to Storsola but I had no climbing equipment with me so I took the easier route along the southern ridge. The last part just before Storsylen was a bit risky but not hard to climb if you can take a bit of exposure ;) It's a fantastic day if you get good weather, highly recommend!

Hello AlexMerk, the TRUE traverse is from Sylarnas Fjällstation STF, up on Templet to Storsola, Storsylen and Lillsylen then back to the mountain station STF Sylarna. (Fastest known time is about 2:30 but most people take 6 - 10 hours) If you are on an expert level (very skilled mountain climber with years of experienced ropeless climbing in the wild) you can do it without climbing gear, but I recommend bringing a small rack and a 30m rope for rapelling the spire on Templet. Good Luck!

Hi @@pierreolsson588, thanks a lot for the reply! I first hiked from my tent near the STF Sylarnas to the South and, after looking at the ridge going down from Tempelet to the South-East, decided to ascend it directly. The slope was not that steep and covered in snow, so I could simply "zig-zag" it without crampons. I'm not sure if it is likewise easy during the whole season but it is a nice shortcut - I first thought I'd have to walk around to start approach from the Southern side (as on the video). The rest, as you know, was a pleasant rock scrambling with beautiful views :) However, that small climb just before Storsylen was indeed tad risky for an inexperienced climber like me. Don't know if I missed a better spot but had to "roll" over a prominent rock that was on the way, while completely relying on it - would probably be a fatal fall if it broke off, haha. Made it alive and had a great experience nevertheless. Best regards, Alex.
