480m, 11 pitches. Description mostly translated from: https://www.klifur.is/problem/boreal

Kambhorn. Classic route of the mountain. Very well bolted, perfect for all abilities. Climbing mostly on good, slabby rock (comfy shoes) leading all the way to the true summit.

1. 30m 5.5 – 5 bolts, slab
2. 40m 5.5 – 6 bolts, slab
3. 50m 5.7 (crux) – 10 bolts, slab/step
4. 50m 5.7 (crux) – 14 bolts, slab/edge
5. 35m 5.3 – 1 bolt, scree/step
6. 45m 5.5 – 12 bolts, slab
7. 30m 5.7 – 7 bolts, slab/crack
8. 40m 5.4 – 8 bolt, slab
9. 48m 5.4 – 5 bolt, slab
10. 55m 5.3 – 4 bolt, slab
11. 55m 5.3 – 3 bolt, slab/scree

The grades on pitches 6/7 should really be swapped.

Sport.
