Considered a classic in Jotunheimen.
A long ridge climb through lots of exposed scrambling, with one or two parts of easy climbing. Some rope up for these parts, but it's not strictly necessary. The hardest part is between Midtre Urdadalstind and Søndre Urdadalstind, the so-called "V notch". Some of the difficulties of the route can be bypassed by going on the east or west side of the ridge. The climbing is about a Norwegian 2+ or 3, so Diff or VDiff/UIAA III or III+, but is a very short section of a few meters. Other parts have short climbing sections where you traverse on the side of the ridge (exposed but very easy).
