Clue 11

Look at the answer to PeterCorneliusSpaeth's guess. A word is underlined.

In my mind I was way up northern. I totally missed that it was down there.
But I don't get the underlined clue?

This works the same way as Who is he? Is there a list of used mountains?

Eggjenibba, 1338m (Eggenibba, Eggenipa)
Great description here: http://www.westcoastpeaks.com/Peaks/eggjenibba.html
(in fact, that’s a great Norwegian peaks website generally)

Clues
1. A mountain race. Eggjenibba is the site of the Eggenipa Opp, a 1080-meter hillclimb race.
2. Snofrisk goat cheese, made by Tine. One of Tine’s biggest factories is right by our mountain.
3. The video gives you the date of the most recent Eggenipa Opp, 25-7-10
4. The summer view of the mountain
5. Soccer player Dan Eggen playing for Vigo
6. Eggs!
7. Dan Eggen again. Diego, you disappoint me …
8. A BMW M5 E39. The mountain is famous for the view of it from Highway E39. Gangolf, you disappoint me …
9. Painting by Nicolai Atrup (who grew up by the mountain)
10. Another reference to the E39
11. “Opp” seems to be the Norwegian term for this kind of race.

It does seem to work like Who Was He, except it is traditional to post an actual picture of the mountain as your first post. Sometimes the picture is partially obscured or is misleading or in unusual conditions ...

There does not seem to be a list of used mountains so far, but we've only done 86 and so your chances of duplicating are maybe one in a thousand. But, somehow, we did duplicate once.

There is a thing called a checksum. The checksum for Eggenipa is 15/8 (sum of all digits, slash, last digit). People may guess with checksums. Or you can give one as a clue, I believe.

Diego is the maker of the rules and can elaborate ...

Sorry for the lack of clues
Workday both real busy and long

Visentin, you're very close on height, but not quite.

Ok, Diego, it's ok. I chose one which I'm pretty sure no one has chosen before.
