Litlkorsnestinden,[3] (nicknamed: Trakta, lit.'The Funnel') is a mountain in Hadsel Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 980-metre (3,220 ft) tall mountain lies on the island of Austvågøya in the Lofoten archipelago, just south of the Trollfjorden. The summit is the most difficult to reach in Norway; there is no trail for the long approach which is often extremely difficult terrain and the easiest route through the Northwest ridge is a mountaineer route graded 3N. It was first ascended in 1910 by Alf Bonnevie Bryn, Ferdinand Schjelderup and Carl Wilhelm Rubenson.[1]
