Kebnekaise-route tips needed- answers in swedish

[Veke]

Hej,

I have couple of questions concerning some possible passes & routes in Kebnekaise area.

My questions are in English,´cause the sad level of my written Swedish, I apologise that, but you are free to comment or/and answer in Swedish.

Any tips are welcome.

1)Has anyone descented northwards to Kaskasavagge through the pass/glacier between Tarfalatjåkka and Kaskasatjåkka? How steep is the ridge? Crevasse rich glacier?

2)Anyone ascented to Pyramiden using the South-East ridge rising from the pass between Nipals? Steepnes? Much harder than the South-West ridge towards Knivkammen?

3)Anyone descented Northwards to Unna Räitastugan through the pass between Pyramiden and Knivkammen? How steep is it? Is it possible with 30 kg backbags and without rope & harness?

1. Har gjorts av några kamrater till mig för ca 10 år sedan. Då fin nedfart de åkte med lätt dagturspackning.

3. Har jag gjort med 20 kg på ryggen. Relativt enkelt men det kan vara lavinfara från Knivkammen.

Utförsåkning med 30 kg på ryggen tycker jag aldrig är någon höjdare.

Hej,
Not sure if you mean summer or winter time but we were going to hike the pass in your third question last summer. Look in my Album and there is a picture of a guy cooking, the pic. is taken from Unna Räita and the pass is behind him.

It didn't look too bad but fog forced us to turn towards Vistas instead.

Sorry,

I forgot to mention that it´s going to be summer trek.
Last autumm we tried to ascent Pyramiden, but about 70 vertical meters from the summit storm with heavy rain broke out and we we were forced to turn back down. The same thing happened to us with Kaskasatjåkka also...

...Förlåt mig, ja glömde att nämna att det ska vara sommar vandrinden i Juli eller augusti...

Question number 3 is discussed here:

At high season there is almost one party or hiker going that route every day. Of course with the exception of bad weather. You need to be a little bit careful though. Some photos of the beginning of the descent to Unna Räitavagge at my homepage. Look for Vandring/Dagböcker/Kebnekaise runt.
