Although my primary focus is Norwegian mountains,
I try to visit other mountains from time to time.
This is an index of the European mountains I've been to.
(I have also added Greenland mountains on this page)

A fascinating peak located in the Glen Nevis valley near Fort William. I climbed this Munro twice in a week. First time with Else Nornes and Gro Sørdal, the second time with Colin Jamieson, as part of the the classic "Ring of Steall" traverse. | |||

| 40. | Sgor an Lubhair | 1001m | Mamores Range, Scotland | Jul 2002 |

A wonderful peak in the eastern Mamores range. Stob Ban means "the pale peak" in English, and is a landmark above the Glen Nevis valley, near Fort William.

| 42. | An Gearanach | 982m | Mamores Range, Scotland | Jul 2002 |
 |
This peak is known as "the complainer" in English, and this was fairly comprehensible as Colin Jamieson and myself hiked up the steep hillside from Glen Coe valley (near Fort William). This peak is the beginning (or the end) of the classic "Ring of Steall" hike. The ridge from An Gearanach to the unranked top An Garbanach was narrow and quite fun. | |||
| 43. | Stob Coire a'Chairn | 981m | Mamores Range, Scotland | Jul 2002 |
 |
This peak is a three-way ridge junction, connecting to An Gearanach, Am Bodach and the mountains around Binnein Mor. The peak is also one of the 7 tops and Munros that make the classic "Ring of Steall" hike, which I did with my friend Colin Jamieson. | |||

After spending a lot of time in the mountains in Glen Nevis, near Fort William, Dag Bakke, Else Nornes, Gro Sørdal and myself went to Glen Coe for some new inspiration. Due to heavy fog, we settled for this unnamed point on the Aonach Eagach ridge, which also offers one of the classic ridge walks in Scotland. | |||
