 At that time the mountain was named "Koldedalstinden", but Aasmund Olavsson Vinje renamed the mountain "Falketind" more than fifty years later.In retrospect, the expedition leading to the first ascent became known as the "discovery of Jotunheimen" ("Jotunheimens oppdagelse").The first element is "falk" which means "falcon" and the last element is "tind" which means "mountain peak".
