Slovenia
Mangart (2,679 m) stands on the Slovenian-Italian border in the Julian Alps. The highest road in Slovenia climbs to the Mangart saddle at about 1,900 m, where there is a toll road, parking and a hut, so the limestone west face is reached in an hour or two on foot. Modern bolted multi-pitch routes on this face are described in the Slovenian guide 'Modern multi-pitch climbs'. It is a high alpine setting: the season is short, cloud makes the approach hard to find, and descents use the marked via ferrata paths.

Slovenia · Mangart (Julian Alps)
A long bolted climb up the west face of Mangart, starting at about 2,180 m and finishing near 2,580 m. Two 60 m pitches of 6a open the route and the first half is the best; a 6b corner that can be aided is the crux. An alpine outing with a tricky approach in cloud and rock that is not always perfect.
