| Went with a big group from Boot Camp (www.bootcamp.is) and our guides were Iceland Mountain Guides (www.mountainguides.is). We started around 5am in overcast weather with very light rain. When we were up to 700-800 meters the clouds suddenly vanished and we climbed in a beautiful weather. Clear skies and calm wind. We reached the summit after about 7 1/2 hours of long walk. A bit of wind on the summit but beautiful views! We were back at Sandfell 12 hours after we began. Excellent day! | |

| In a group of 8 (1 guide and 7 guests) to the summit. Not difficult but a long hike of 24.5 Kilometers (up and down) and 2000 m elevation gain. Fine day with good weather over the clouds and awesome views of Vatnajökull-Icefield. | |

| Group of 8 made it to the summit. The winds were incredible. Cloudy most of the ascent...then magically a few meters from the top, the clouds lifted and it was glorious. | ||

| Winds of about 50-60 mph and rain forced our group to turn around about 6000 feet. Other than crevasses, the climb is relatively easy although there's a lot of elevation gain. Will submit trip report once I get all the Icelandic peaks I climbed added. | |
