What this route is
Krókastigur is an imported route record, not a field-checked itinerary. Its recorded track length is 1 km; the approach, direction and suitability still need confirmation.
Evidence and current conditions
Track measurements and duration estimates are planning data, not a field inspection or a promise of completion time. Confirm the exact variant and start/end points before relying on them.
Use SafeTravel alerts, official road conditions and weather warnings. These sources describe current conditions, not verification of this particular track.

How demanding is this hike?
From the recorded distance and time, treat this as a short outing. The estimate is a comparison aid, not a finish-time promise: stops, navigation, surface, wind and the slowest person in the group all matter.
The data works out to about 11 m of ascent per kilometre. That shows how concentrated the climbing is, but it does not capture exposure, footing or scrambling.
Technical difficulty is recorded as minor; compare that with your experience rather than judging the route from distance alone.
What can change the decision
Route-specific hazards have not been confirmed. Check with the responsible land manager before planning this hike.
Plan the approach and return as carefully as the trail itself. Keep a shorter alternative in the same region, define a turn-around time and do not let a downloaded line override conditions on the ground.
