Takeoff description
Hyeneshesten er veldig steinete, så egner seg nok best ved snødekte tider (vinter/påske). På sommeren bør man heller trekke ned mot lyngområdene sør for varden. Kommer vinden østfra vil man få gode hangforhold innover Skjerdalen. Kjempefin tur!
Pilot comments
Turen opp er tung og lang, så ta det i et rolig tempo. Usedvanlig vakker tur fra Skjerdalen og opp via fagredalen.
