Klifurhusid and chilling in Reykjavik
Enjoying this bouldertour through European capitals right away! Ending up in the beautiful and cold Iceland! The city is so tidy, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere everywhere.
Plus, the city has a bouldering gym! A decent 30 min walk from the old town where we are staying. Klifurhusid is nice and cosy with friendly staff. There are showers and a blow dryer in the changing rooms. I did not get the use for the hair dryer until after climbing on the prospect of walking outside in the cold again.
The bouldering area was mostly slopes: heavy for the arms. We had to search for the easy routes, mostly getting used to the hall specifics and the American grading. (V0's instead of 3's) The levels are not bound by colours: a yellow route might one time be labeled V0, and another V6. I wonder what other countries use this system.
Next to the Klifurhusid and the awesome small yoga studio I found, we also visited the settlement exhibition (fun! Good view on how early people lived there), volcano house (great!), horse back riding (cold and beautiful!) and lava caving (crawling:)). And that all before our car tour this weekend. Enough to do here!
