Ási Thanks for sharing that Ási, it's a nice video. I notice that you have American music and Yosemite decimal ratings on climbs (10.d), is that common? The climber looks very skillful, is it you or the Tomas fella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 thanks for posting the video. Looked a bit cold and windy. Good climbing weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ási Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks for the replays. This is my friend climbing. Sigurður Tómas, he has been climbing for about 10 years. Here in Iceland we have used the Yosemite demical ratings. But the routes are often with a low grade. American music is popular in Iceland. I will have to put some icelandic music next time. And yea, its sometimes a bit cold, good to have a big jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 OK. Come clean. That is obviously Beacon rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ási Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Would probably be fun climbing in Beacon rock. But that is Hnappavellir, good area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure yur not from Portland? Ási, don't listen to the sprayers like bug - they have mental disorders that make them babble on and on in such ways!

Lodestone Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That looks like a great route. Your friend walked right up it. Thanks for posting the video. How long of a season do you get for rock climbing? Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
