I was desperately trying to peel my eyes away! That perspective is horrifying for someone afraid of heights. I couldn't. Thank you. P.S. NEXT!
my father went up with me when i was three years old in 1968
Looks hard. How many kms is from where u start walking up to the top, without the way back?
You can start from "Horský Hotel Sliezsky dom" but to get there you need to get a "Mountain Taxi" because the road to that hotel is Private / Only for guides. If you start from there the trip is not that long. Or you start down from the "Tatranská Polianka" village but this makes the trip unnecessarily long for walking. Hope that makes sense. The KM from the Hotel to the top differs based on the route you take. But its not that crazy long.
nice video. i there a more easy root to the peak?
Yes check out Gypsy Ferrata / Route. But the locals still want you to get a guide... pretty regulated out there.
What route was this that you filmed here ? Velika ?
The path seems harder than on Rysy
Yes a little harder :)
Its 150m higher
Is it possible to hire a guide onsite or I need to book it in advance?
Booking in advance is better! Here is one recommendation: horsky-vodca.com/
@@MartinTatarCan you go up without a guide?
@@tosmic9630 TBH this is a tricky question with a lot of grey area. If you go via the main couple of routes (about 4-5 of them) that are used mostly for easy class III climbing then you should use a guide as all of those are guide only. If you climb up there as a rock climber via harder routes (5+ and more) then you can go without a guide. Also the normal routes have 0 markings on purpose and its quite easy to get lost on them (not trying to fear monger as the usual folk says: "dont do this" haha but being serious). All in all its up to you. You could easily do it via the regular route by yourself if you went unnoticed or followed a group however they would know you are not a guide... On the other hand if you dont have experience then help support the guide tourism :) if you do...go climb it yourself via the harder routes.
I read on the official mountain Pro-guide site that Gerlach climb is only permitted with fully certified (UIAGM) mountain guide!
IMHO if you’re not experienced it is strictly recommended but for who is used to climb 4k alps and Dolomites, it sounds pretty annoying to be obligated to pay a guide for a route F+/PD with easy II/III that usually are climbed with no ropes or at least by a fast“short rope” way.
However, thanks for sharing your video! Greetings from Italy 🏔️
What's up with my beloved brothers and this dramatic music? Slightly excessive, isn't it? 🤌😫
