Description

The glory of ice climbing goes beyond the actual climbing. Instead, it is the feeling you experience when dangling from the gorgeous, glacial sheets of frozen water that create an ice fall, like the one found in the Mlacca gorge. Despite being at most 40 metres high, you somehow feel as if you are at least 4,000 metres up.

There is a sense of adventure, risk and danger in ice climbing that few, if any, other winter activities can truly capture. That risk is not solely a feeling however. It is a reality because ice climbing can be dangerous. You are climbing a frozen waterfall with crampons and an ice axe after all. That is why I believe it is essential that anybody who wishes to enjoy this activity learns the basics on how to enjoy it properly and safely. And that is exactly what I will teach you during this 1 day ice climbing course that is designed for beginners.

The Mlacca gorge features a gorgeous ice fall that is 200 metres long and 45 metres high. Beyond the gorge itself, you can also take some time to appreciate the beauty of the Triglav national park, where the gorge is located.

The trip will begin in Mojstrana, and from there we will make our way to the Mlacca Gorge. The course will last the day. But I can add on an additional day for those looking to take what they have learned and apply it to more challenging ice climbs in the area.

If you have always wanted to learn how to ice climb, this beginners course is for you. Also, the beauty of the Mlacca gorge will stay with you long after you leave. So send me a request, and let me guide you. I know you will have a great time.

I can also take you on another Slovenian ice climbing adventure at Kranjska Gora.

Mountain Guide

I was born in Ljubljana in 1988 and began climbing during high school. In 2010, I became a climbing instructor, after years of spending my free time on the walls of the Alps, both in Slovenia and abroad. I studied Geography at university, but mountaineering, climbing and now mountain guiding have always been my main occupation. I've received multiple awards, including the Piolet D'Or. I'm a fully certified IFMGA guide.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
