Magneetrots

Magneetrots is a mountain in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname.

[1] The Magneetrots as well as the Tebutop, the Roseveltpiek, and the Kasikasima were first explored in 1904 during the Tapanahony expedition.

[2][3] On 16 August 1904, the expedition led by Alphons Franssen Herderschee [nl], made a first unsuccessful attempt at climbing the mountain.

Magnetic disturbances were observed by several expedition members, and therefore the mountain was named Magneetrots (English: magnet rock).

The first part of the climb was a gentle slope upwards with many overhanging rocks, however near the top, there was a steep wall.
