Cloud sits on the summit far more often than not, and the route is not obvious in poor visibility. Turn back rather than continue on a bearing.

Getting there and getting in

Transport

The start is at a road pass with no bus service.

Access

No fee.

Season

June to September. Snow and cloud make it a serious hill otherwise.

This sits near Eiði, which has its own page.
