Kebnekaise, swedens highest mountain
Latest adventure was Hella with two friends, David M & Ramona, going for the challenge of reaching the top of swedens highest mountain Kebnekaise, 2104 meter above sea level. It was a long and rough hike on the 4th of november, weather was amazing but the ground icy, slippery, full of hard sharp rocks. We started really early in the morning and reached the south peak at sunset with a full moon rising high over the mountains. It was an amazing, magic moment. Breathtaking in one word!
This is definitly a place to go again, but during season! Now everything was closed and we where all alone, kind of powerful feeling. No tourists.... except us ;)
Many peolpe rekommended us not go in november and I do understand them, it wasnt a game...
At the 5th of november I could celebrate my birthday in the middle of nowhere, me like! We walked back to Nikkaloukta on friday the 6th, got picked up and taken to Kiruna. Party started as we entered the door to the flat. All in, and ending there after....
That trip gave both a test of strenght and stamina, and you always learn a lot about yourself putting you in new situations.
Go explore! /Hella
