The first route in amazing cliffs between Svínafellsjökull glacier and Mt. Svínafell. Here is a big potencial for new world class routes in beautifull setting.

Approach: left the car at svinafells farm and we follow a path crossing the moraine of the glacier and then we walked in the frozen lagoon until reaching the line. 40min
Can be possible to approach from „batman “ access and then try to find a way trough the ridges.
descent: rappel or exit the gully and then turn right and try to follow the path to back to the farm. There is a big gully at some point with a big wooden bridge, TRY TO FIND IT!!! after that is just heading to the farm

WI 7-, the first route in Iceland to get that grade, hopefully many more to come, so this is the hardest route in Iceland at the moment
