[Hide Comment] Has anyone been here in February? it looks like it likely gets a lot of sun if there is sun during that time of year, Im curious if it would be dry enough.
any thoughts would be sick. Nov 26, 2018

[Hide Comment] James, I really doubt that you'd have an enjoyable time in February. There is only about 6 hours of 'sunlight', and it won't be very strong. This route in particular begins out of a gully behind the svolvaergeita, which will doubtless be full of snow.

Let us know how it goes if you make the attempt. Nov 27, 2018
