Summit Push: Hiking the 2nd Highest Mountain in Norway, GLITTERTIND, Jotunheimen

A 17 minute Clip thats shows the entire summit push of the Glittertind hike.
Hiking/Backpacking 5 Days Alone in the Norwegian Wilderness. A loop hike in Jotunheimen National Park. I start from DNT Leirvassbu on July 16th 2025 and hike a loop to Spiterstulen, Glittertind, the Second Highest Mountain in Norway. I continue to Glitterheim, Russvatnet, Memurubu and make it a loop back to Leirvassbu after 5 days in a massive heatwave. Hiking in the heat was quite uncomfortable even in the high alpine of Norway with long days of sunshine and very little shade to be found.

I am using my Marmot UL tent for this trip, along with my Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest backpack, La-Sportiva shoes, Primus Stove, Western Mountaineering ultralite sleeping bag, La Sportiva shoes, Therm-a-rest sleeping pad, Arcteryx, Devold and Norrøna clothing and some more stuff. I went pretty Ultra light on this trip carrying around 10kg including the food. I also bring my Termacell to keep the mosquitos away, the flies where especially bad on this trip.

My original channel ‪@NorwegianXplorer‬ is now focused on my Van and Storm videos, so I wanted a clean new channel for my backpacking trips where I go back to my basics with no sensational storms and weather, unless that should occur on my backpacking trip.

About me:

My name is Jarl, I am known as Norwegian Xplorer ‪@NorwegianXplorer‬ and I roam my favorite parts of the world with my camera trying to capture the magic I see for you to enjoy and be inspired by. I have been hiking and backpacking Norway and the US extensively and some of my favorite areas are Utah, the Escalante and Dirty Devil areas, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, The Sierra in California, Greater Yellowstone as well as Jotunheimen, Lofoten, Femundsmarka, Rondane and Arctic Norway, and Arctic Sweden.

Hope you enjoy my new channel, I appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch and get inspired by my adventures!
