Romsdalshornet is one of the most iconic mountains in Norway. The first "official" ascent was 1 September 1881 by the Danish climber Carl Hall, together with Norwegians Erik Norahagen and Mathias Soggemoen. The north face route is one of the most popular climbs of Norway, in a IV grade. Sindre Sæther had climbed in 37 minutes up, and his father Ole Johan Sæther still holds the downhill fastest time in 20 minutes.
