At Kjerag you go up and down, up and down and then you climb to reach a plateau (as the profiles shows).
When Jone and I started walking we walked more or less alone all the way into Kjerag and I guess the reason is that we were up bright and early and it was still pretty early in the tourist season.
If you walk to Kjerag this early you have to be prepared to walk through some snow when you reach the plateau.
