Tatra Ridges

Tatra Ridge Traverses – A Unique Offer


Tatra Ridge Traverses are a truly unique experience. In the High Tatras, we have many opportunities for such outings.

The hallmark of climbing along the airy ridges of the Tatras is the constant exposure that accompanies us almost the entire way. Some of the most spectacular options in this category include the Kościelce Ridge, the Ridge of Żabi Koń, the Widły Ridge, the Mięgusze Ridge, or the Martin Ridge on Gerlach.



WHAT DOES A TATRA RIDGE TRAVERSE WITH AN IVBV GUIDE LOOK LIKE?


The most popular Tatra Ridge Traverses feature excellent rock quality, which translates into great protection opportunities. Guiding clients in such terrain requires the ability to apply a wide range of rope techniques to ensure the most effective and secure protection. Efficiency and thorough terrain knowledge allow for swift, and therefore safer, execution of these demanding routes. Typically, we access the ridge using the shortest and easiest approach possible.

On many of these routes, we’ll climb over sharp towers, overcome ridge drops that require downclimbing, and navigate "rock horses"—narrow, exposed sections often tackled by straddling them :)
