Before we went to the Kazbegi summit, we had spent some time close to the Kazbegi in Arsha. There we had found an awesome camp spot just on the foot of the climbing crag. It was super beautiful right next to a small creek.

And the climbing routes were super nice as well. Cindy/ Racki and I did my first multi pitch climbing route and that was an awesome experience as well.

After climbing the Kazbegi summit (last post), we went back to the climbing area. Julip joined us a day later and together we had a fantastic dinner to celebrate our ascent to the Kazbegi summit. Even after one day, we were still so hungry… The waitress asked us if we were sure about the amount of food we ordered.

And we met Leon and Alma, travelers from Austria. Super nice guys. We had lots of fun together.

See the Arsha climbing area on The Crag.

The nice guy managing the Sveri Adventure Camp and who had bolted most of the climbing routes in Georgia had built a Via Ferrata as well.

And this one is absolutely awesome! I’m sorry for spoiling this incredible swing to you but I have to.

When we started the Via Ferrata, we did not know what to expect and then the surprises were just mind blowing!

It started with an ordinary ladder and a beautiful view. Then some trunks on which you can balance on and some walking close to the cliff.

So far, so good. But then the first big surprise: a big and interesting cave you can explore.

And then close to the end: THE SWING!

We never experienced something like this before. This swing is fixed to the five meter high roof of a cave that opens up to a 50 meter deep cliff. When you swing in it, you swing over the edge of that cliff!

It was amazing!

Really, you have to go there.

Here is the location of the Via Ferrata.
