Three relict talus‐foot rock glaciers at Øyberget, upper Ottadalen, were dated using high‐precision Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating (SHD). A SHD calibration curve was constructed for the local banded gneiss using two control points: (1) fresh bedrock in a road cutting; and (2) glacially scoured b...
