@svinafellsjokull
est side
sector “secret lagoon” (proposed)
Rolling stones 110m WI4+
7/3/2016
Matteo Meucci and Hlynur Sigurjonsson
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@skaftafellsjokull
sector Sudur (visitor center side) approach about 45min
“Break a window” WI4 70m

@Eyjafjoll: Me and Bjoggi went monday the 22th behind Thorvaldseyri farm and climb Fellsfoss; Amazing route about 90m long. grade is still uncertain but fall around WI6 (more or less).
@Bolaklettur: I went today with Albert, Benni and Elias and climbed a new line “Take a walk on the other side of the Stars” WI4+ 35m on the left of Matteo&Bergur (n°4)route (right then Aussie picking n°3). Albert and Benni bolted and roktpunkt a new line left of Muspellheimar. 2 pitches, M8 and WI5+/6 “Hard five” (confidential notes, unconfirmed grade and name)
Stay tuned!
MAtteoHi guys,
someone has room in the car for me?
i would leave on thursday and back on sunday (night) but i’m open to other solutions.
Let me know!
takkkkkkkk!
MatteoHaehae,
Thorsteinn og Eg farid i Mulafjall i dag. Eg leid “Thor is back” (FF, sja nya leidina) og Thorsteinn leid pitch1.
MatteoHi all,
I ended to bolt a new line (“Thor is back”) in Mulafjall on the spur on the left of “Fimm i fotu”; it’s about 37m and there are 13 bolt with belay in the middle and on top (middle one can be skipped but really high friction and can’t follow the leader on the crux).
Few cams can help but not necessary, I suggest 2BD, 1BD and .75BD for first pitch (can help on the long crack bolted a bit longer and to shorten the run out on the ledge) and 2BD and .5BD for the second (n°2 one the flake above the belay and .5BD on the crack of the crux).
Approach: straight from the parking lot on the “Fimm i fotu” gully and then turn left and reach the spur. 40’min
Descent: A) From the belay turn right and walk on top of Mulafjall until reaching the slope of the normal route. B) rappel down from both of belay, recommended if 60m single rope. Then, see approach C) rappel down on one shot on the right of the line if 70m single rope o 2 half rope. Then, see approach.
Difficulties: 1P: M5/M5+ 2P: M6/M6+ both to be sent and confirmed.
Hope the pictures can help!
Thanks to Thorsteinn C.for help me on one of the bolting session!
Matteoin pictures: red dot are bolts, yellow suggest cams position, green in wide view is “Fimm i fotu”, green in spur view is alternative first pitch trad-mixte, light blue is rappel with 70m rope or 2-half.
