Technical Summer Alpine Climbing

• Climbing

Alpine climbing in the Alps has a rich and lengthy tradition. It started when different nations were competing to claim particular mountain faces or routes on big mountains. Perhaps the most known and also controversial struggle was ‘the battle’ for the Eiger North Face in the early 20th century.  Similar stories were happening on Slovenia’s biggest mountain faces such as Triglav’s North Face. To date, climbers have established many climbing routes through the Alps. Most of them are climbed in the driest and warmest part of the year in summer. Some of them are extremely difficult, plenty of others are easy enough to be appropriate for beginners with experienced guides.

Technical Alpine climbing refers to climbing in big mountains. You should not confuse it with rock climbing on 30-meter cliffs. Alpine climbing is a much more complex activity. It consists of an often quite a long approach, followed by demanding route finding and multi-pitch climbing, concluded by long descents from the top of the route.  Alpine climbing is therefore much more adventurous and pure rock climbing is only a segment of it. You need quite a lot of energy and commitment, but the resulting experience is a lot more gratifying.
