Keilhaus topp

First ascent
  
8 August 1844 (Baltazar Mathias Keilhau, C. Hansteen, Andresen)

Keilhaus topp is one of Norway's highest mountains, but is not always included in rankings due to its prominence of only 20 m.

The summit lies approximately 750 m east of Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest.

The name

The professor Baltazar Mathias Keilhau, together with two students, tried to reach the top of Galdhøpiggen in 1844 - but he had to stop here because of bad weather.
