Route number F5 in the photo.

Half bolted drytooling route, bolts are only in the first half and then the rest is on traditional protection. Interesting character in this route, axe holds are usually quite good but foot holds are bad. The route is in a kind of a corner between collumns so stemming is in some parts an option.

FA: Unknown

Route number F6 in the photo.

Halfbolted drytooling route like Þorskur á þurru landi (F5). Opposite of F5, this route has quite bad axe placements but good foot holds to compensate. The difficulty is roughly the same.

FA: Unknown

Route number F7 in the photo.

Bolted top anchor above a tight crack in a small corner that has at least been climbed on top rope. The route starts in an overhanging wedge. This route can be bolted and redpointed if some one is interested. Difficulty around M6-7.

There is a slight chance this is a route by Jón Heiðar Andrésson that is called Skitið í buxurnar. Jón Heiðar on the other hand doesn’t remember this accent

Easy corner with a ledge mid way. Protected with trad gear.

Route number D9

Nice arette in the beginning with keymoves mid way up. Final part is on a vertical wall and a thin crack. Traditional protection. This route was the 90th in Matteos 100 route mission (2017).

The route has been bolted in 2018 and added a bolt on the top anchor in 2024 (now 2 bolts but no rings for top rope).

Route number D7b.

Drytooling route explored on top rope about 10 years ago (2013ish) from Ivar Finnbogason, Björgvinn Hilmarsson and Viðar Helgason.

Start with some moss hooks and then after a good rest follows a crack with marginal foot holds to get to a delicate traverse and finish on final cracks.

One bolt at the bottom for the belayer. Top anchor with 2 bolts with a big Mallon for the top rope or abseiling down. Easy accessible from Testofan.

Route number C4.

Mixed (clean) variant of Íste. GHC led the route onsight and world famous Jeff Lowe followed. The route was at the time, the hardest mixed route in Iceland.

FA: Guðmundur Helgi Christiansen & Jeff Lowe, 11. February 1998

Route number C2.

The route is on the left side of the ridge by Íste. Starts in a corner (rock) rigth side and under an icicle, traverses up and to the left on an obvious bump on rock, there you can reach the icicle. Vertical ice from there and to the top.

Route number B6.

Bolted overhanging mix climbing route. Traverses left under a big roof – real piece for hard heads!. First bolted route in Múlafjall. The route was named after the drinks that were drunk during the climb. Upper part it hard to climb if there is no ice and you might have to use traditional protection above the bolts.

FA: Styrmir Steingríms, Jökull B & Guðmundur T, 1998-1999, M7 (4 bolts), 30-40m

Rebolted in 2020

Route number B20.

Very nice route! Starts on a short but steep step, maybe 5m to a small snow slope/ledge. From there the later half is quite a bit longer and more sustained. First part can be tricky if there is not enough ice. Later half might also be WI 4+ in some conditions.

FA: Unknown, WI 4, 70m

Route number B21.

The name of the route translates to: “A good day to die”, if it was like that or not. Around the corner from Íste is an obvious roof and about 15m further to the east is a clear light groove in the rock that recently (1998) has collapsed. There is the route. It is obvious, follows the crack for the first 20m, into a small hole in loose rock and then straight up on a little bit of ice. It ends in a small roof with good holds and then to the top.
