Summary

Cool little cliff close to the capital region. Lots of boulder problems establised, a few trad routes and a few sport routes. Very well bolted and mostly easy routes so its very beginner friendly.

Description

The cliffs are about 10 meters high and are suitable for beginners and younger climbers. There has been some rock wrestling on the hammers, but they are usually too high to top and the landing is often boring on a slope.

A small rock belt can be found close to Háabjalla. To find it, walk about 200 meters south-east from Háabjalla.

Note The area is owned by the Voga Forestry Association. Take a good walk around the area and take all rubbish home. There is a trash can at the parking lot, but it is rarely emptied, so it is better to take all trash home (this is especially true for groups). The forestry department has work evenings on Wednesdays, and there is quite a lot of socializing in the area.

Sport Climbing in Iceland, 2022

35 topos, sport, trad, boulders. Other topos.

Approach

(63.9597, -22.3979)

(63.9580, -22.4020)

Access to the area is good. You can get to the area by car, but there are some rough roads before you get to the parking lot.

Turned off Reykjanesbraut at the Grindavíkura pier. Drive for 2-3 minutes and turn left onto a dirt road (the road is opposite Seltjörn). Drive that road for approx. 5 min. You should see a forest and a green hut soon. You park at the parking lot at the forest department and walk a little further than the hut. Walk for 2 minutes along the forest. There are the hammers on the right.

Ethic

The crag is within the forestry area so it is used by both groups. Please respect others. Trash cans by the car park are not frequently emptied so please take all garbage with you out.

Grade Route

Clip the first bolt of Pacman and start below the small roof. Climb it and join Pacman for the rest of the climb.

Climb the bean pod on very good holds, go left (crux) and finish up Skessa/Troll. The upper part is not very well secured - on the FF the upper part was climbed on stuff (upper moves protected by 1 size 00 cam) but can be on balls. Topo.

FA: R. Askew

The route right of Tröll but use the same bolts up. The route starts with a undercling in the small roof.

Variation to "Köngulóin". Goes right of the bolts without using the left face.
