Rock climbing in Iceland

The best thing what I am doing in Iceland - is mountaineering. Actually today with Tom, Demian and Emily we went to Munkaþvera and hung on the cliff. My first time was two days before. It is amazing feeling, especially when you are trying to rappel and hang just on anchor. I was always afraid of the high, here I have found out that it was just small fear.

On our trip around Iceland we did ice climbing. That was quite nice experience. Guys were so excited! We have been in ice cave. Cool. Everything is in blue. Pure water was streaming, you could just open your mouth and enjoy the freshness. Our guide was funny man :)

Of cause I was skiing!!! Even you can find some video in U-Tube.

The main content of mountaineering is hiking. The Icelandic mountains make this country awesome, otherwise I could get here really bored :) My several hikes made time here much more colorful, useful and beautiful.
