The mountain rises in the mountainous peninsula of the mainland which forms the eastern side of the Southern Sermilik fjord.[2] It is the highest peak of a moderately glaciated mountain chain stretching in a SW/NE direction with summits reaching 1,400 m. The Kirkespirdalen Dal valley, named after the mountain, stretches westwards onto the Saqqa Fjord.
The Napasorsuaq is a popular mountain among climbers because of its firm granite walls, similar to other peaks in the region such as Ketil and Ulamertorsuaq.[3]
