FAQs: Rock Climbing in Georgia
What should I know about Rock Climbing Georgia?
Since all Georgian adventures begin in the capital city, Tbilisi, take some time either before or after you climb to explore the ancient city. Explore the city and soak up some of the 2.000 years of history that lie here. The botanical garden on its outskirts and parliament building are just two of its innumerable highlights.
Regardless of which part of the country you head out into, you’ll be met with plentiful climbing opportunities. The west-central region of Imereti is best suited for beginners and intermediate climbers, offering plenty of learning experiences and fun climbs.
Some of the taller mountains up along the country’s northern border offer appropriate challenges for advanced climbers. Many have several routes to the summit and regardless of how you get up, the views are simply sublime.
Why should I choose Georgia for my Rock Climbing adventure?
Stunning scenery
Georgia is a beautiful little country and offers plenty to see. Getting up above the treeline offers great views out over the surrounding forests as well as into the mountains and valleys. Heading up to the top of Tetnuldi yields views of unparalleled beauty out over the rest of the range. Enjoy the contrast of red rocks with snow-capped summits in front of a blue sky backdrop.
Climb Katskhi
Located in the center of the country, Katskhi pillar is an immense limestone monolith that attracts climbers from around the world every year. At 40 meters high and with an ancient monastery on its summit, the pillar makes for an excellent day of climbing and can be done fairly easily by climbers with previous experience.
