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.
