Only one person slept well during the night, the one that snored. A
drawback of sleeping in a hut. The late arrivers last evening will continue
over Norra Sytertoppen, in clouds as it seems, i.e. they will not see anything.
So why walk up there then, they have a slight hope that weather will improve.
Everybody mind their own bussiness an leave. Well, our own plan is to walk
up on Norra Sytertoppen as well, but we change it to walk up towards Sytertoppen.
The more than 1700 meter high peak on the north side of the valley Syterskalet
is hidden in clouds. After the morning coffee do we leave, without much
hope for the weather to improve. We ford Syterbäcken downstream of
Viterskalet. The slope up to the lake Måskosjaure in Viterskalet
is gentle, to the south do we have a nice view. We admire it during our
lunch. |
Looking south, Syterbäcken

It does not take long time before we reach the lake Måskosjaure.
The clouds are glued to the mountain slopes. There is no reason to continue
further up. We walk around to see if we can find any flowers, but without
any success. The temperature is three degrees, I have brought a thermometer,
and we warm us with coffee. To make things even better does it start to
rain as well. We take on the rain suits, finish the coffee, and start our
way back. This time do we cross Syterbäcken at the proper place, somewhat
upstream in Syterskalet. Much easier than at the place we choosed in the
morning, though that was no problem either. It feels good to get back into
the cabin, even better when we have got a fire in the stove. In the evening
does a young couple with a dog arrive. We have a nice chat while the darkness
arrive. It is still raining. |
