Description

There is an abundance of fantastic peaks to climb in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps of Slovenia. And during the winter season, after the snow has fallen and the ice has frozen, on those peaks are a number of fantastic walls that are perfect for ice climbing. One such peak, and the focus of this trip, is the Dolgi Hrbet (2,473m).

The Dolgi Hrbet is a great peak for climbing, as the summit is remarkable. However the ice climbing it provides is arguably just as, if not better than the ascent itself.

Starting from the Ancelj homestead in the Jezersko area, we will make our way through a passage to the south wall of the the Dolgi Hrbet. The passage is beautiful, and will provide you with some great views as you make your through it. Once we reach the south wall you will look up and see that it is close to 1000 metres high!

It will be on this wall that you will get to enjoy hours of ice climbing throughout the day. The thrill of making your way up a wall of sheer rock and ice is a unique thrill that will create memories you’ll be hard pressed to forget. And while the climb can be tough at points, I will be there to guide you through every metre. Thus giving you an experience that will be as safe as it will be exciting!

So if you want to test your abilities and endurance by climbing up a giant frozen wall on the side of a remarkable peak, then send me a request. I can assure you this trip on the Dolgi Hrbet is an adventure you will never forget.

Would you like to climb the Razor mountain in the Julian Alps? If the answer is yes, then let me guide you on this amazing 1 day ascent.

Mountain Guide

I’m a mountain guide based in Bled, Slovenia. Climbing and alpinism are a big part of my life and I feel like mountains are my second home.

I was introduced to the mountains by my father, a mountain rescuer and a romantic alpinist. He made sure that I don’t see the mountains only as a sports playground but also as a place where a person can enjoy and get to know himself better.

Living in the heart of the Slovenian Alps gave me a chance to develop all disciplines of alpinism: hard rock climbing and wild ridges in the summer, sketchy mixed climbing and ski touring in the winter. I am fortunate that climbing took me on expeditions all over the world, from Patagonia to Himalayas. Since being on the higher ground is my second home, becoming a mountain guide came naturally.

As a mountain guide I want to share my passion for mountains in a respectful and friendly way. What drives me is bringing the beauty of higher mountains and alpinism closer to people who want to enjoy higher peaks but need safe guiding.

Martin is a complete professional on and off the mountain. Always willing to share insights and knowledge about alpinism and climbing and made me feel comfortable and safe at all times. Whenever I had questions before the climb he would always be quick to answer with all the relevant information. The summit attempt of the Matterhorn was a success and Martin brought joy, knowledge and energy throughout the entire process.

Martin Zumer is an incredibly skilled climber who successfully guided me to the top of the Matterhorn. I felt safe with him for the entire trip, and I developed confidence in my own personal climbing abilities with his guidance. It was a lot of fun to climb with him and learn from him, and I would highly recommend him as a guide any day.
