Description
This popular crag is located roughly 15 minutes drive south of the city of Akureryi in northern Iceland. The cliff is known to Icelandic climbers as "Munkaþverá" after the nearby church. The cliff is in a gorge and very close to Highway 829.
There are about 40 bolted routes here, ranging from 5.5 to 5.12d. There is an online guide at: Munkaþverá
The difficulty of routes generally increases from left to right. All of the top anchors were replaced in May/June 2021.
Getting There
From Akureyi, go west on 1 (Þjóðvegur) for 1.5km. Turn right on 829 (Eyjafjarðarbraut eystri) for 15km. Turn right into small pull off area just before the river (þvera efri) and after Munkaþvera Church.
