Sprangan is closely associated with Vestmannaeyjar's cliff culture. Skilled practitioners swing and climb on ropes against the rock face, historically training techniques useful for egg collecting and other cliff work. The activity can be dangerous for inexperienced visitors, who should not attempt it without proper local instruction and safety measures.
