Bouldering In Slovenia.
Click here to view larger image.Bouldering in Slovenia isn't a big thing yet, with World class sport climbing venues such as Misja Pec and Osp this is hardly surprising. There is the exception of a small amount of hardcore boulderers who are constantly searching out new quality untouched areas, other than that everybody else seems to be engrossed in either Alpine epics or the excellent looking stamina fests.
This suited us down to the ground the fact that there are still quality projects to be completed in some very beautiful settings makes for an excellent holiday spot and you virtually always have the boulders to yourself. There are five main bouldering areas in total, all spread out around Slovenia but not to worry we managed to drive from the North to the South in a day. Trenta is the biggest of all the venues and is best visited in summer, due to its mountainous location. Limestone boulders with overhanging faces, roofs and slabs sit in a beautiful alpine valley by the river Soca. Due to the rock being limestone and not having much mileage some of the problems can be very sharp although this doesn't stop them being quality it just means staticness is key.
