Sport climbing workshop

Join us for a one-day sport climbing workshop. Near Mojstrana, there is a climbing area suitable for beginners to learn about belaying techniques and climbing. We will utilize Urbasova skala for learning the basics of belaying and climbing, as well as for refining techniques.

In recent years, climbing has slowly crept into the realm of popular sports. There are increasingly more indoor facilities where we can learn the basics of bouldering and climbing walls. Sport climbing has evolved to the point it can be practiced indoors on artificial walls (such as the Ljubljana Climbing Center) or by visiting one of the natural climbing areas. Successful climbing always requires two: the climber and the belayer. By entrusting someone with belaying while we climb, we could say that we trust them with our lives. Therefore, we always climb with someone with whom we have a good relationship. Once we delve into this sport, we quickly discover the vast climbing community, and before we know it, we find a climbing partner. This workshop can be a good starting point that introduces you to the basics of sport climbing.

Across Slovenia we can find many lovely craigs. Some smaller ones do have somelocal characteristics. Our sport climbing workshop is usually held near Mojstrana. Above Dovje, we find two climbing areas: Blažčeva skala and Urbasova skala. The latter is most suitable for families and beginners, so we will spend the day there. But if you have some specisic wishes regarding the location, we can adapt - if the craig of your choosing has rout difficulties that the workshop requires.

We can conduct private workshops during any day of the week.. Workshops are led by mountain guides or climbing instructors. For securing a guide and date, contact us at least 3 days prior to the reqired date.
