What to expect?
With your guide, you will go on a 10-minute drive from Bled to Bohinjska Bela and park in the centre of the village. Then you will go on a short hike towards the Iglica outdoor rock climbing wall. The guide will prepare the safety equipment and fasten ropes in the routes. You will put on rock climbing shoes, a rock climbing harness and a helmet. The guide will do a safety check to make sure the rock climbing gear is correctly set.
You can choose a preferred climbing direction with a particular difficulty level, from 3a for beginners to 8c for experienced climbers. It depends on your experience and skills. You will climb and abseil three times from the ground to the top of the 25 metres high protected rock climbing wall. If you find that you can manage more than 3 routes, we can extend the activity and you can climb 6 routes or more.
Fearless climbing on a dry rock wall
The guide will rope you up and protect you from the ground while you will climb on an equipped rock climbing wall. The guide will teach you safeguarding techniques so that you can also protect climbers in your group. You will also learn basic techniques to climb in the lead, rappel on a rope, rope manoeuvres and how to tie a knot at the top of the wall.
