Summary
Limestone
Iconic limestone crag with plenty of intermediate to expert sport singlepitch routes. Some routes suitable for beginners as well.
Description
Always shady
Noon sun
Sheltered from wind
Wet in rain
Bring at least 60m ropes. Recommended amount of quickdraws is 10-15. Fixing is usually in very good condition, not rusty, not loose (2022). At the top there are anchors which can be used but use your own stuff whenever possible to save it for others (i.e. during top roping).
Shade all over but some top of the routes are exposed to sun. In hot summer days its good idea not to climb between 10am-4pm. Still plenty of them in shade all day though.
Access issues
Allowed
Beware of heavy traffic on main road. Stay visible!
Approach
Steep hike
5-10 min
After parking on P1, P2 or P3 (all of them very small spots - not really oficial parking places) follow the main road.
Where to stay
Plenty of spots at nearby small villages. Even more options in Donovaly or Banská Bystrica. Staying in tent prohibited. In case of emergency bivaque - use a cave directly at the crag and stay low profile and of course keep the area clean.
Ethic
Always check for temporary nature protection restrictions here:
