Climbing Hraundrangi in Iceland. Hraundrangi is a famous peak in northern Iceland. When driving north to Akureyri, it is clearly visible from the highway where it dominates the mountainscape. I climbed this peak several years ago and the climbing is technically pretty easy, but the problem is how loose the rock is. Rockfall is a big danger and it is very difficult to place decent protection. The only totally solid protection is the rope that goes around the top.
