Racki’s birthday, Christmas market and preparing for the snow in Tbilisi (December 2023)

After the battery installation in Turkey, we went back to Hof Marani and continued to Tbilisi to celebrate Racki’s birthday!

It was super cool and nice to go to a real Christmas market. With live music, food and of course glint wine.

We had a great time and prepared ourselves and cars to stay in Gudauri (the biggest ski resort in Georgia) for the whole winter season.

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.
