Stetinden (Narvik)

Stetinden (Norwegian) or Stáddá (Lule Sami)[2] is a mountain in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

[4] It was not until 30 July 1910 that Ferdinand Schjelderup, Carl Wilhelm Rubenson, and Alf Bonnevie Bryn finally reached the summit of Stetind.

The hardest part was to pass the smooth crag "Mysosten", which Rubenson finger traversed along a tiny crack.

[6] Arne Næss, Ralph Høibakk, and K. Friis Baasted did the first winter climb of Stetind in 1963 on the eastern wall.

[8] It got a boom in tourism activity after the award, but the number of visitors returned to normal levels after a few years.
