Crag features

(Note, all sport climbing in Iceland is supported by a single bolt fund, a payment or donation can be made in Klifurhusið which helps to maintain areas as well as set up new ones.)

The main cliffs are to the west of the main track up Þverfellshorn. The rock is doleritic, hard and loose in places so care should be taken. Many of the routes are bolted and there is still much potential for routes, bolted or trad. A new topo will be coming out soon.

In winter the cliffs are full of ice falls and mixed routes - many dry tooling or mixed routes are also bolted.

Approach notes

For the main routes at the western end park in the main car park for Esja and walk along the track until it is possible to walk up to the cliffs.

It is possible to park near a farm (not on their property) to the east and walk to some of the ice routes at the eastern end or through the quarry to the west for the other routes. Don´t take the turning to the quarry as it is still active.
