Young guns shine at Mišja peč

Young climbers are taking over Mišja peč! The iconic limestone walls have been buzzing with energy as a group of young guns from across Europe recently sent some of the crag’s most demanding routes — many of them reaching personal bests.

At just 12 years old, Juraj Gondžur from Slovakia made a major breakthrough by climbing his first 8b+ — the powerful Missing link in the right sector of Mišja peč. This young crusher didn’t stop there. He followed up his impressive ascent with the classic 8a, Giljotina, also in Mišja peč.
