Ice Climbing in Iceland!

We decided to do a "private" tour, because we really wanted to have the BEST possible experience!
Mike, our guide, had all the time to explain everything very detailed, without the "pressure" of a group or a special itenary.
The tour was almost 6 hours, and we were really exhausted at the end (in a POSITIVE way!).
We took our time to tryout climbing boots (very important that they FIT!).
We took our time learning the very basics of "walking on the ice", "going up/down/sideways".
We took our time trying out "walls" that really suited our "climbing level".
Well, ok, we were still a "group" because we were 2 people.
And maybe I (the male who sucks in the video) was holding back the other "group member" (the female who was "killing it on the wall" (quote of Mike)) to tryout a more difficult wall.
But still it was wayyyy better than being in a group of 6 or 10 or whatever.
If you look for a very personal ice climbing experience, we can absolutely recommend going with Mike from "Ice Pic Journeys" (link below, not sponsored ;-)).
