Um fer\u00f0ina<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skessuhorn er eitt fallegasta og tignalegasta fjall \u00ed n\u00e1grenni Reykjav\u00edkur. Nor\u00f0-vestur hryggurinn \u00e1 Skessuhorni er fr\u00e1b\u00e6rt klifur fyrir \u00fe\u00e1 sem vilja ekki fara s\u00f6mu lei\u00f0 og allir hinir.<\/p>\n

We start with one hour drive from Reykjav\u00edk heading north-west to the valley Skorradalur. When we get to the destination, we will go over the task for the day. When we are ready, we begin the approach to the base of Mt. Skessuhorn.
\nApproach takes from 3 to 4 hours over swamps, rocks and beautiful landscape. We have a few rivers to go over on the way, but they are small and usually not hard to pass.<\/p>\n

Under the mountain we gear up for the climb and have some lunch. After a bite we\u2019ll go over how to climb and how to use some of the climbing gear.<\/p>\n

For the hard parts of the climb our guide will climb up 15-30meters and bring you up, so you are always climbing on top rope. Climbing the ridge takes from 2-3 hours and is one of the most fun ridges to climb in Iceland.<\/p>\n

This is not a super difficult one but a fun one.
\nOn the summit we grab some photos and enjoy the view before going back down. There are two options one the way back. we can hike back the normal hiking trail or rappel back down the ridge, our guide will take that decision and let you know.<\/p>\n

When we are off the mountain we walk back to the car. After long day of hiking and climbing it’s nice to get to the car and have some drinks.<\/p>\n
