During the search for steep lines in Iceland, we considered many options. The wind seemed to have done its job all season long and the temperature was anything but stable. Typical Iceland actually. During our stay the freezing level moved towards 1000 meters and with that many slopes became a "no go". So we had to look higher up. In the north of Iceland the mountains reach up to about 1500 meters so that was the goal straght away, clear wheather and looking for a window without too much wind..
