Mišja peč

Mišja peč – the queen of Slovenian top level climbing. With its horseshoe shape it brings luck to all good climbers. In the last couple of years a lot of easier routes were bolted, and climbers got better as well, so Mišja finally lost its infamous label of an elitist playground, though you may still get a funny look if you study a “warmup“ route for the 8‘s for too long. It helps if you are strong. And have excellent technique, along with stamina. In fact, you need to be good at everything.
ACCESS
Try to get the latest information regarding the parking space. Since the old parking space under the crag was abandoned, a new parking space was formed a couple 100 meters back, on the left side of the road. If you plan to climb in Mišja, use that parking space. Do not park in driveways or on the side of the road! To get to the wall, go around, following the road – don‘t cross the pastures and fields on the side of the road. The approach is not long and will ideally warm you up for climbing. When going uphill use well trodden paths – you will get to the left or the right part of the crag, then just follow the wall around.

WEATHER
Mišja withstands the worst conditions – even rain and wind can‘t touch it. In the summer there is enough shade on the sides (especially the right) – shame that the routes are unrewarding. In the winter the warmest place is the Beach (left side of the central part). After heavy rains many tufas can get wet, but good climbers don‘t mind that.
QUALITY
Mišja is nicely maintained and often rebolted, except for a few forgotten routes. Practically all the routes have an anchor with a carabiner. But it‘s harder to praise all the qiuckdraws, which hang in many routes – some of them are dangerously worn out and are just begging to be replaced. The rock quality in Mišja is superb – only rarely a foothold may break. Under the wall there is enough space for a small picnic or several baby carriages.
GEAR
Watch out only on longer routes, otherwise even the 60-meter rope should be fine. The same goes for quickdraws – 14 are usually enough. For longer routes you don’t need more then 80-meter rope and 16 quickdraws.
ROUTES
Basically all the routes are slightly or heavily overhanging and you need a lot of strength, endurance or sometimes both. Still, you can be surprised by quite technical, vertical parts. It‘s good to be at home among tufas, and all the longer routes have great no hand rests, if you are skilled enough. Sadly some of the classics are very polished and some of them would easily deserve a plus more. The best routes start around 7a.
TRIVIA
The first route, that started its life as an aid climb Lastovke, is today known as Preobrazba 7c+, and was freed by Srečo Rehberger in the late 80s.
