Crazy climbing on an old Russian monument in Tbilisi (November 2023)

During our stay in Tbilisi, we went to an old Russian monument on which the Georgian climbing community had bolted some crazy routes.

The climbing and scenery were just crazy and very unique. Some handles and steps on the routes were similar to the ones from indoor climbing gyms. Some were wooden and old and some were just tiny pieces of rocks glued to the wall.

The whole monument was about 40 meters high and there were even two Multipitch routes.

After Racki and I went there alone, Adela and Alvaro joined us. And at the famous overlander park spot near the Trinity Cathedral we got to know new friends from France: Roxane and Vincent. They were super nice and together we had a great time climbing and at the parking.

Back in Katshki and lovely new friends (October 2023)

We went back to Katskhi for some more climbing and it was awesome as always! We met Lasha, a Georgian Climber, climbed together and shared our meals. Cindy and I did a small hike in that area and visited the small chapel on the stone pillar.

And this time our visit of Katskhi was very special because we met our lovely friends Adela and Alvaro for the first time. At a rainy day, Cindy knocked at the door of tha van and from there on we did a lot of climbing together, played a lot of Exploding Kittens and had so much fun. Spending time with them was just hilarious!

After Katskhi, Racki and I went again to Sveri for some climbing. Adela and Alvaro joined us and together we enjoyed the Via Ferrata with the magnificent swing. It was my third time, but it was again awesome!
