Stetind, also known as Stetinden or Stádda, is a remarkable mountain situated in Narvik Municipality, Nordland County, Norway. Its obelisk shape and smooth sides make it one of the most unique and recognizable mountains in the area. Standing at 1392 meters above sea level, Stetind provides an awe-inspiring view of the surrounding landscape.

Many have attempted to climb Stetind over the years, with the first unsuccessful attempts made by German Paul Güssfeldt and Norwegian Martin Ekrol in 1888, and Danish Carl Hall and Norwegian mountain guide Mathias Soggemoen in 1889. However, in 1910, Ferdinand Schjelderup, Carl Wilhelm Rubenson, and Alf Bonnevie Bryn finally reached the summit of Stetind. Climbing Stetind requires experience and climbing equipment, and the most challenging section of the climb is the 15-20 meters long cliff that offers an unforgettable feeling and sight under the feet of the climber. It is advisable to hire local guides for a safe and enjoyable climb. Despite some describing it as the ugliest mountain they have ever seen, Stetind’s unique shape and challenging climb make it a popular destination for climbers.
