This demanding route is a true test of technical rock climbing prowess and mental fortitude, weaving its way up the imposing north face of Triglav through sustained and intricate limestone terrain.
The UIAA 7+ grading signifies passages with small, poor, or distant holds, often requiring precise and powerful movements, sometimes involving overhangs or highly exposed sections.

Success on 'Helba-Gorenjska' is a profound reward, offering a unique blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and the deep satisfaction of overcoming one of the most challenging vertical lines on Slovenia's national symbol.
