Blue line<\/p>\n

Hnj\u00faka\u00feeyr was first climbed 13th of October 2020. The idea was to follow the most direct line on the face as possible.<\/p>\n

The approach was done on skis from Hnappavallalei\u00f0 and took around five hours. Similar to the Italian Job<\/a> the climbers traversed onto the face to avoid dropping too much height and safe some time. If the approach is done from Sv\u00ednafellsj\u00f6kull it’s well possible to follow Beina Brautin<\/a> onto the face.<\/p>\n

The climbers simul-climbed the lower section of the face and climbed one third grade pitch on a running belay leading them to the junction<\/em> of Beina Brautin<\/a> and Vinamissir<\/a>. A waterfall around 100 meter long had formed there leading all the way to the top in two pitches.<\/p>\n

Hnj\u00faka\u00feeyr is the Icelandic word for F\u00f6hn winds which are particularly common in the area.<\/p>\n
