Location

Żabi Mnich is situated on the ridge which starts at Rysy (2499 m.) and leads towards north. 

Its west face is very popular among climbers because of a great quality of granit rock. Mnich (Monk) has a peaky top and it stands high above the valley of Morskie Oko. 

Climbing and timing

Reaching the top of Żabi Mnich surely makes a solid mountaineering day, with some elements of climbing and scrambling through various rock formations.

The route goes through rock steps of Wyżni Białczański Żleb (gully) towards a small col- Białczańska Przełęcz Wyżnia. Once it is reached, the route goes steeper, but great quality granit and placements for protection gear, compensates all difficulties. 

The view from the top of Żabi Mnich is stunning. 800 meters below you will see Morskie Oko and Czarny Staw lakes. Panorama of the High Tatras will be all around you. 

Climbing difficulties are never above II UIAA grade, but complicated topography of this mountain requires good knowledge of terrain, especially when the weather turns bad. 

This outing is definitely aimed to the clients with good fitness level, and with some previous experience in moving confidently in mixed mountain terrain. 

It usually takes 8-10 hours, to complete the outing.

Safety

I assure rope protection all the way up and down the mountain. All necessary climbing gear (helmets, harnesses, rope, etc.) and in winter (avalanche ABC, ice axes and crampons) are provided by myself without any additional cost. 

This offer is for two guests maximum. Price depends on the time of the year and the number of people. Please apply for more info.
