Veðrastapi
Veðrastapi is a prominent rock in the mountains west of Hof in Öræfi. It is in altitude of 806 meters, rising 30-40 meter above its surrounding. It was first climbed in 22nd January 2000, by Helgi Borg Jóhannsson, Jason Paur and Einar R. Sigurðsson. It is unbelievable that no one has climbed it before since it looks quite good from the main road. I know of two previous attempts but at least one of that team turned back because the rock is very rotten and loose. Helgi Borg, who lead the successful climb graded it II, that is fairly easy climbing, but mentally hard because of there are almost no safe handholds.
