SE Buttress of Kjostinden (view)

This is how Store Kjostinden looks like form the height of about 1100 m on SE Buttress. The main peak (Store) is the one right in the middle of the pic. If one decides to climb the SE gully rather then the buttress / ridge one will encounter a short pitch of near vertical ice, that ice fall can be seen at about the center of the pic, but the gully only leads to the E-ridge and there is a near vertical rock step just before you reach the main summit (can't comment on the grade as we never even tried to climb it 'cause we didn't have almost any rock gear).
