Poziv na tradicionalni alpinistički skup u Makedoniju

utorak, 09.04.2013.

Dear friends,

It is my pleasure on behalf of our Federation to invite you to our traditional annual climbing meeting at Matka, near Skopje. The meeting is dedicated to the late Macedonian alpinists and we organize it for 30 years now and it will be our pleasure to be your hosts.

This year the dates are: 10th till 12th of May.

Accommodation: you can either stay in hotel in Skopje or in a hotel at Matka (for this you have to make reservations as soon as possible because of the limited capacity) or you can camp near the climbing area (very nice meadow with shades and with a water spring).

Arriving at Matka: We offer to pick you up from the Skopje airport (or bus/railway station) and take you to Matka. Also if you arrive with your own car we can meet you in Skopje and help you get to Matka. It takes about 20 minutes to get from the center of Skopje to the Matka canyon.

Climbing: there are many possibilities on good quality limestone - either short bolted routes or multipitch climbing with in situ pegs. There is no guidebook, but our climbers will be at your disposal to help you around choosing the best line that you would like to climb and suits your abilities.

We hope that this meeting will be another chance of establishing better cooperation and just plainly having fun together on our rocks!

Expacting your answer and any questions about details of this meeting and its organization.
