Debabrata Mukherjee scaled Mt. Galdhøpiggen the highest peak of Scandinavia

Debabrata Mukherjee successfully climbed Mt. Galdhøpiggen (2469m), the highest peak of Scandinavia on 25-09-2016 at 10:40hrs. He had climbed Veslepiggen (2369m) on 24-09-2016 and Galdhøpiggen (2469m) on 25-09-2016. This was his 4th consecutive summit after Mont Blanc and Mt. Elbrus this month.

"Finally climbed Galdhøpiggen (2469 m) after two consecutive days attempt. Yesterday (24-09) the weather was so bad that the visibility was below 5 mtrs and couldn't see anything. I followed a set of footsteps which abruptly stopped and about turned below a rock wall. I started climbing  as climbing solo, the 70 mtr Rockwall by the end of the glacier was a real good climbing in 100+ km wind and snowing condition. I finally climbed Veslepiggen (2369m) a 100 mtr lower but much technical peak. In fact the descent was terribly scary.  Today we started from the staying place at 06.10 and I started trekking in apparently nice weather at 07.45hrs.  But soon the clouds came and wind took speed. The pre-winter bad weather is continuing here. Today is the last permitted day of this year for climbing the peaks. The huts and the approach road will open again on 17th May, next year. The early morning freezing cold made every snowy part icy. And glacier top was glassy ice and very slippery. But as I had no choice (I had underestimated Galdhøpiggen for its height and didn't bring the crampon/ice-axe) I continued tiptoed making scratches with the spike of the ski-stick and placing he soul of the boot, believing in the quality of the famed Vibram sole. After crossing the glacier following the rightists of shoe-marks today within an hour, I heaved a shy reaching the summit ridge of the peak. 400+ mtrs to climb. In normal conditions it's just a ridge walking using all the four limbs at times.  But today it was different with last two day's fresh frozen snow on the Rock wall. And wind speed, I can't say how fast. I can only tell it was like my Everest descending time. I was getting uprooted from the ridge. I reached the closed hut on the summit at 10.40. Spent some 10 minutes max trying to take some snaps through the whiteout. Climbing down with thrusting wind from the back on verglassed rock was another trying thing. I reached Yuvisshitta hut at 13.05 hrs."  - Debabrata Mukherjee from Yuvisshitta
