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.

Narrow line in a small gully.

Cool line in nice surroundings. Offers a harder variant up a pillar to the right og an easy mix route to the left that leads into easy ice climbing. The day it was climbed, two rarely spotted ice climbers were seen at the carpark.

FA: Bjartur Týr, Jónas G. & Mike Reid, December 2017, WI 4, 40m

The route up the middle of the ice wall, that has the least resistance. Fun rock blocks at the start that offer some interesting moves.

FA: Mike Reid, Bjartur Týr & Jónas G. December 2017, WI 3, 35m

Short an nice route. This area is often full of “umbrella” formation and this line weaves between them. Can probably be WI 3 if the umbrellas form in a different way.

Easy ramp at the start that leads to a short but steep pillar at the top.

Þvörusleikir (WI4) var fyrst farin 15. desember 2017 af Bjarti Tý Ólafssyni.

Leiðin er stutt en brött. Eftir því sem ofar dregur þynnist ísinn. Þegar ísinn klárast kemst maður inn á syllu með litlum helli. Til að klára upp þarf að brölta eftir syllunni út til vinstri.

Cancel Boogy (WI4) var klifruð af Matteo Meucci og Kamil Kluczynski í 17. janúar 2015.

Leiðin er í fjallinu Jökulhaus á hægri hönd þeirra sem fylgja göngustígnum upp á Sólheimajökul.

Leiðin Sólheimaglott (WI 5) var klifruð þann 15. desember 2011 af þeim Robba, Sigga T og Palla. Meira um hana hér.

Leiðin er í klettunum vestan meginn í Sólheimajökli rétt þar sem jökullinn rennur undan Mýrdalsjökli. Það þarf því að þramma dágóða vegalengd til að komast að leiðinni.

Siguður Tómas Þórisson klifrar brattasta kaflann
