Description

Discover some of the best climbing spots in the country of Georgia during this 3 day privately guided adventure!

My lovely home country of Georgia is nestled within the Caucasus mountains and has some great under-the-radar climbing. We will spend 3 days exploring some of the country’s climbing treasures near the town of Chiatura, in the region of Imereti. Chiatura is about 2 hours driving from the country’s capital – Tbilisi. As your local guide with extensive knowledge of the area, I will show you the best routes based on your climbing level and interests.

Climbing has recently gained popularity in Chiatura, and for good reason: the town is surrounded by rock.  There are many great climbing spots with bolted routes accessible from the town; in fact, there are enough fantastic routes to keep a climber busy for days.

A highlight of the area is Katskhi, a 40m pillar that rises above the surrounding treetops. Perched on top of the pillar sits a medieval monastery originally constructed in the 9th or 10th century, giving the monument a surreal, fairytale look.  The pillar has been bolted with numerous routes of varying difficulty levels.

Book now and we will spend a fun and rewarding 3 days together climbing in some of my favorite spots in Georgia!

If I’m not available to guide you, one of my 3 teammates, all of them GMGA mountain guides, will be happy to do so.

Mountain Guide

I'm a fully certified IFMGA / UIAGM mountain guide from Tbilisi, Georgia. I have the GMGA (Georgian Mountain Guides Association) certificate and I'm a member of the Austrian Mountain Guide Association.

I'm a professional mountaineer, national team member of Georgian Mountain Federation. I am actively climbing in the Caucasus mountain range.

The programs I guide more often are:
- Mountaineering = Mt. Kazbek, Mt. Tetnuldi, Mt. Ushba, Chaukhi region.
- Ski Touring = Gudauri, Svaneti, Kazbegi regions.
I also manage large expeditions and base camps for Caucasus Mountains.

Please get in touch with me if you plan to come to Georgia. It will be my great pleasure to help you and to guide you in our awesome mountains.

I am leading a Guide Office in Georgia, and work together with my colleagues George, Lasha and Leri (National certified Mountain Guides). In case I'm not available, one of them will be your guide.
