(Icelandic) Í ljósi sögunnar WI 5

Route B10c

This route is left of Gjörgæsla. It started with a short step leading to a corner with very little ice in it. From there the crux of the route was to step out of the corner and onto a free hanging curtain. Few tricky moves take you to a little rest before you finish to the top.

The route gets logged here with the disclaimer that someone might have climbed it back in the day. There can’t be that many unclimbed routes in Múlafjall anymore.

Bútungur WI 3+

Right route in a gully right behind Dýrafjarðargöng tunnel

Park your car by the tunnel and walk to the first gully. The river is called Bæjará. The gully has two nice routes

„Stútungur er Þorrablót Flateyringa. Öllum Flateyringum, trúlofðum eða giftum, er boðin þátttaka í Stútungi. Einnig fær ógift fólk, sem komið er yfir þrítugt að vera með. Áður var síðan haldinn Bútungur og var það fyrir ógifta fólkið.“ – Tíminn, mars 1978

Svartagjárfoss WI 4

Svartagjá

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.
