Description

All 13 peaks higher than 2000m, from Abisko to Kvikkjokk.

The route starts out together with the major trail Kungsleden, but soon deviates into a rocky valley and heads for Kebenekaise mountain range. After summiting 5 of the peaks, trails will take you to Ritsem and the lake Akkajaure which is crossed by boat or helicopter. The next part will take you through and over the wild Sarek national park, to finally end up in Kvikkjokk by rejoining with the Kungsleden trail.

The peaks are:

Šielmmáčohkka (Sielmatjåkka)

Steamboat Prow

Description

Any route that starts and ends from White River Campground and reaches the high point of Steamboat Prow is acceptable for this FKT. It is popular in late spring with climbers and skiers, with stunning views over the northeast side of Mount Rainier. The route starts by hiking up the Glacier Basin trail to Glacier Basin Camp. Parts of the trail may be covered in snow. From Glacier Basin Camp, you can usually ascend an established bootpack to Steamboat Prow. Alternately, you can climb the ridge on climber's left to Mount Ruth and traverse across and up along the ridgeline to the prow.

Northeast buttress

Description

This mountain towers over the extremely popular cascade pass trailhead/parking lot in north cascade national park. It has a long history going back to the very well known Ptarmigan Traverse. It has a strong reputation with PNW climbers/mountaineers for its unique tree climbing/vertical bushwhacking and its sheer size and complexity.
