1.9.2. Jelenec 138 routes in Crag

Summary:
All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 48.856528, 19.142976

summary

Iconic limestone crag with plenty of intermediate to expert sport singlepitch routes. Some routes suitable for beginners as well.

description

Bring at least 60m ropes. Recommended amount of quickdraws is 10-15. Fixing is usually in very good condition, not rusty, not loose (2022). At the top there are anchors which can be used but use your own stuff whenever possible to save it for others (i.e. during top roping).

Shade all over but some top of the routes are exposed to sun. In hot summer days its good idea not to climb between 10am-4pm. Still plenty of them in shade all day though.

access issues

Beware of heavy traffic on main road. Stay visible!

approach

After parking on P1, P2 or P3 (all of them very small spots - not really oficial parking places) follow the main road.

where to stay

Plenty of spots at nearby small villages. Even more options in Donovaly or Banská Bystrica. Staying in tent prohibited. In case of emergency bivaque - use a cave directly at the crag and stay low profile and of course keep the area clean.

summary

Lesser known part of the Zamutovské skaly massif, a few hudred meters further into the forest.

description

Andesite walls and towers typical for Slanské Vrchy, very nice slabs and cracks, very rarely overhung. As it is a little known area, it offers you peace and calm, but also a tougher approach (no really good path) and in some places a little worse footing while belaying.

access issues

Tougher terrain, very unstable soil underfoot, from Zamutovské Skaly you reach the top of the cliffs and need to scramble down between them.

approach

From Zamutovské skaly, follow the asphalt route until a sharp right turn. Go off into the forest there, following the old forest road. You need to get up to the ridge on your left. Alternatively, from the parking lot, follow the blue trail, than at a big oak (with names scratched in the bark) turn left, past a small meadow with a hunting post. A hundred meters later, go left (cairn), then keep right until a big intersection, where you find a trail to the top of the ridge. There is a path following the ridge, with small cairns marking starts of descent routes. Be careful, the terrain is very loose.

where to stay

As with Zamutovské Skaly, Penzión Kondor is the closest place to overnight. Camping is prohibited in the area proper, but there is a nice place by the asphalt forest road aou take for access.

ethic

  • no new routes
  • dont disturb soil cover on tops of rocks and ledges
  • keep quiet
  • no camping or fires
  • use existing trails, don't mark new ones
  • careful with rocks falling
