Description
The name Saitaris means spearshaped, a very beautiful steep and narrow mountain in the southern area of Sarek national park. To reach the mountain one needs to cross one of the glaciers surrounding the mountain. When on the mountain one need to do some technical climb to reach the summit. Even the easiest route to the summit consist of overhanging rocks, climbing over the void.
