Slovakia: Bratislava - Climbing Close Technical Glass

When I was a few weeks ago to save my boyfriend on climbing wall, I overheard a conversation from the next rope on the wall, which is regularly overcome climbers from Bratislava. Old skilled must be clear that the so-called technical glass, but me, climbing beginner, I wanted hear more. "You know, toward Nova, around the area of ​​technical glass, and then the garden," she said securing friend. When we arrived home, I started the computer and searched map including drawings and driving directions.

Discover can start

Situation map, I found the climb.sk / james.sk, I carefully studied, but I accidentally released from Dúbravka towards Nova Nova Ves. However, the trick lies in the fact that the Dúbravka turn directly to the area of ​​technical glass and then between houses and gardens weave through the grove to the rocks.

It was morning, outside fresh air and no one on the rocks. First I looked at the rocks and examined the ways in smart phone layouts. All sat nicely, from the difficulty of routes signs. I admit that in the wrong shoes and I have no protection and little bouldering. In some places that dangerous, that if I took off, certainly fall not just from the rock, but also from the hill below. Never mind, it was 8 degrees outside and pleasantly cool rock cooled fingers.

Bird's Perspective

Because to the very top, I could not get, try to figure out how to get up. And as usual, he who seeks finds, and so I made was on the very top. Simply go to sector 2 and go up the rocks. For a while I looked at "pigs" and "circles", but then I realized what I had the outlook. Great. Go and see it as well, maybe for a moment, you will forget that you are in town and you will not want to go anywhere.

And do not forget to take wind stopper clothes. My jacket saved me against the strong wind.
