Route in the bottom of Svartagjá in Botnsdal, close to Glymsgil

Excellent route which deserves more visits.

The route starts with a short step, WI3, which leads into the canyon. Walk up the rocky canyon takes you to a 60 meter tall waterfall, WI4. The route can be climbed in two 30 meter pitches with a nice belay in a small cave on the right.

Pictures from an attempt of the route can be found here.

Pleasant climbing just right of Dauðsmannsfoss.

A short steep section followed by easy ice to the top.  Climb the long snow slope above or abseil off (~50m).

Hægra þilið af augljósu þiljunum tveim fyrir botni Garðshvilftar, leið 1.5.

Tvær spannir af skemmtilegu, jöfnu klifri í góðum ís. Nokkuð í fangið í fyrri hluta, slær af halla í seinni hluta og getur verið auðvelt að komast upp fyrir hengju yfir vinstri hluta þilsins. Annars er lítið mál að setja upp þræðingu undir hengjunni og síga niður í tveim sigum.

Nothing for build an anchor on top, we wrapped cordelette around a clump of ground.

Suggested approach is following the river bed.
