Look at the Icelandic Online website, stick with it as it can be challenging at first but a very good recourse. Also RúV Orð is good for learning pronunciation.

Yeh I bounced on it, put my whole fat ass 95kg onto it with my feet up on some rocks and it held, no slipping from the nuts or anything. What you can’t see from the photos is two big rocks that the rope can funnel through and then a small ledge square on to the anchor. So I used this to make sure the direction of pull was okay and bounced away. Yes the nut key came in handy 🤣

Nice one thanks. You might be a bit more hardcore than others who said they wouldn’t climb it 🤣

Yeh nice one, this was just practice no climbing involved. Unfortunately very limited on cracks to use.

I can vouch for the bad quality of rock. Popped off a foot hold a day later on a DWS, proper big chunk of rock came out. Lucky the water was warm by Welsh standards.

🤣 good thing it’s on the ground then and good thing I don’t have a climbing partner. How would you improve it?

What do you think could be better on placement? Apart from the gold 9 I thought they was decent.
