Climbing with a Mountain Guide
Multi-pitch climbing with an IFMGA Mountain Guide in the Tatras, the Alps, or other inspiring destinations.
Climbing in the Tatras
The Tatras offer outstanding climbing opportunities – from short, fully bolted routes to long alpine adventures where fixed protection is scarce and trad climbing skills are essential.
If you’re interested in guided climbing in the Tatras with an IFMGA Mountain Guide, get in touch. I have several carefully selected routes of different difficulties and would be happy to take you on one – or a couple – of them.
Some of the best climbs in the Tatras are as follows:
- Puškaš (VI+) and Štáflovka (V) on Wołowea Turnia
- Hokejka (VII-) on west face of Łomnica
- Great Dihedral (VI+) on Kieżmarski Szczyt
- Sprężyna (VII-) on Mnich
- Motyka’s Route (V+) on Zamarła Turnia
- Dieška’s Route (VII-) na Osterwa
Beautiful ridge traverses are another excellent objective:
- Widły Ridge
- Martin’s Ridge to Gerlach
- Żabi Koń Ridge
- Szarpane Turnie Ridge
For those without technical climbing experience but with strong mountain ambitions, I can propose a guided ascent of Gerlach, climbing Mnich via the classic route, or assistance in completing the Great Crown of the Tatras.
Climbing in the Alps
Having an international IFMGA certification, I also guide in the Alps.
Areas where I can offer outstanding objectives include:
- Chamonix Area
- Grimsel and Furka Pass
- The Dolomites
- Wilder Kaiser
- Dachstein South Face
- Höllental
- Salbit
My most recommended multi-pitch routes in the Alps are:
- Rebuffat (6a+) – south face of Aiguille du Midi
- Voie Salluard, (6a) – Pointe Adolphe Rey
- Swiss Route/O sole mio (6b) – Grand Capucin
- Ex Libris (6b) – Brévent
- Motörhead (6b) – Eldorado
- Cassin Route (6a) – Piz Badile
- Comici-Dimai (6b+) – Cimie Grande di Lavaredo
and many, many more!
Sport Multi-Pitch Climbing
If you’re looking for multi-pitch climbing with a more sport-oriented character, I can propose a trip to destinations such as Arco, Sardinia, Riglos, or Calpe.
These areas offer well-bolted routes of different lengths and difficulty, making them ideal for climbers who want to push the grade in a spectacular setting.
Many of these destinations provide excellent climbing conditions year-round – especially in autumn, when the weather in Poland is less favorable.
Recommended multi-pitch routes:
- Archangello (6c) 350 m, Arco
- Olandese Volante (7a+) 125 m, Arco
- Il Piccolo Principe (7a) 140 m, Arco
- Mediterraneo (7a+) 240 m, Sardegna
- La Fiesta de los Biceps (7a) 260 m, Riglos
- Costa Blanca (6c+) 200 m, Peñon de Ifach
Guided multi-pitch climbing is ideal for experienced sport climbers who lack a suitable partner, confidence, or sufficient experience for independent big-wall adventures.
Ice Climbing
Is there anything more beautiful than climbing a frozen column, an ephemeral icicle, or a vertical curtain of ice?
Ice climbing is an extraordinary experience – but also one of the most serious of its kinds.
Whether you are an advanced climber aiming for a dream icefall or a beginner wanting to start safely, I can help.
Here is a short list of ice climbs suitable for climbing with me as a guide:
- Kurtyka’s Couloir (WI4), Morskie Oko
- Mrazek (WI4), Biała Woda Valley
- Oczy pełne lodu (WI5), Biała Woda Valley
- Veverka (WI4), Staroleśna Valley
- Sopel (WI5), Wielicka Valley
- Mordor (WI5), Gastein
- Superkuluar (WI5), Mont Blanc du Tacul
If you are new to ice climbing, I am also leading introduction courses and training sessions.
During training you will learn how to climb ice safely and efficienly, place ice screws for protection and build V-thread anchors for rapelling.
