Tips
Coming from the Dimmuborgir terrain, the southern slope is the most logical, but also the most challenging.

It's better to use the north trail because the parking lot is right there. The south trail is incredibly steep, rocky and you can almost throw your shoes in the trash afterwards.

Challenging, but definitely doable in good weather! We used the south slope as the ascent. There are well-anchored poles and ropes that you can hold on to. Be careful on windy days, it can get very stormy up there!
