Store Knutsholstinden, Mountain summit in Jotunheimen National Park, Norway.

Store Knutsholstinden is a mountain summit in the Jotunheimen range that rises to 2,342 meters. The peak features steep rock faces on multiple sides and stands among other significant summits within the massif.

The peak was first climbed in 1875 by Johannes Heftye, marking an important milestone in Norwegian mountaineering. This early ascent was part of the growing exploration of Jotunheimen summits during that period.

The mountain's name derives from Knutsholet, referencing a large gorge, combined with 'tind,' the Norwegian word for mountain peak.

The climb requires alpine experience and appropriate gear due to steep rock sections. Good weather and sufficient daylight hours are important for a safe ascent and descent.

Marie Sønstenes discovered an alternative route to the summit in the 1870s that was steeper yet technically easier. Her ascent challenged the male-dominated mountaineering scene of that era.
