Quite straight forward tour through three peaks. Approach from Krossbu hut or from the roadside nearby. There is usually marked path to Leirbrean glacier lake. There you can reach higher ground on the northeast side of the lake. Or follow our slightly more direct route.
Ascent to Store Smørstabbtinden is quite steep around 1700m and especially after 2000m. We left skis there and continued with crampons to the top.
Next two peaks are reached without any big problems. Going back we had to go south to pick up fallen water bottle. Going down directly to east from Veslbreatinden is probably more common.
