I have moved and this post moved together with me! Follow the link to read it at the new MashaClimbing website!

Autumn.. I enjoy so much the beauty of nature this time of the year - falling leaves, golden forests and last warm days. But the days are getting shorter and colder and it also means the end of outdoor climbing season.

Happily we found a day, probably the last day this year, to go outdoors and do a bit of rock climbing. The place I want to show is Pełcznica. It is a very small crag in south-western Poland, close to a town Świebodzice.

Coordinates: N 50° 50' 47.18'' , E 16° 16' 45.80''

I believe you would never hear about this place if you don't know locals. The crag is located in the forest, it's very small and not visible from the road. Luckily Kris grew up in this region and showed me this lovely place.


I was truly impressed how many routes can be "packed" at this small wall - total amount of lines according to the local topo is 42! The height of the routes vary from 10 to 18 m. Here you can find detailed topo and download it as pdf, just keep in mind that it' in Polish :)

Most of the routes are marked directly on the wall together with their grades and variations. It is very practical!

"Susza" variations

All routes are well bolted. Not all bolts are new, but mostly in good conditions.


I also took a couple of pictures of top rings. You can see that next to old rings new ones are placed.

Here is a short video, which we recorded that day:



It's a great place whether you just happen to be there for a day or you want to work on a longer project!
