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 an exceptional variety of climbing – from short, bolted routes to long alpine adventures where you won’t find a single fixed point. It’s a pocket version of the Alps, full of character, history and beautiful granite.
If you’re interested in guided climbing in the Tatras with an IFMGA Mountain Guide, feel free to 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 Wołowa 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, such as:
- The Widły Ridge
- The Martin Ridge to Gerlach
- The Żabi Koń Ridge
- The Szarpane Turnie Ridge
For those without climbing experience but with strong mountain motivation, I can offer a guided ascents 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 climbs throughout the Alps.
There are many regions where I can propose interesting objectives, such as:
- Chamonix Area
- Grimsel and Furka Pass
- The Dolomites
- Wilder Kaiser
- Dachstein South Face
- Höllental
- Salbit
Some of the most rewarding routes in the Alps I can recommend 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 take you to places 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
Multi-pitch climbing with an IFMGA Mountain Guide is a great option for more experienced sport climbers who lack a suitable partner, confidence or sufficient experience to venture onto long routes on their own. If that sounds like you, feel free to reach out.
Ice Climbing
Is there anything more beautiful than climbing a frozen courtain, a delicate ice column, or a vertical ice wall?
Ice climbing is an extraordinary experience – but it is also one of the most serious forms of climbing.
Whether you are an advanced climber aiming for a dream icefall or a beginner wanting to start safely, I’ll be happy to help.
Guided ice climbing with an IFMGA Mountain Guide is a safe way to learn the fundamentals and improve your skills, as well as an opportunity to climb some of the classic icefalls, such as:
- 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
During training and climbing with me, you will learn how to climb ice safely and efficienly, place ice screws for protection and build V-thread anchors for rapelling down.
