DOLGE NJIVE

Dolge Njive aren’t exactly long (as the name implies), but  rarely such a short wall can be so much fun as here. Boldery character, small roofs and overhangs and various holds will surely excite anyone coming from the winter training on the boulder wall. Upper sector recently added another dimension with longer and more vertical routes. At first sight the crag is nothing special – but let it surprise and convince you in person!

Begin your journey in Nova Gorica, where you can find a roulette and gamble away all your wealth, thus becoming a proper dirtbag climber. Keep your car and use it to go past Solkan and Solkan bridge on a nice road along the beautiful Soča river. On the left side you will soon spot two dirt parkings, before you might drive too far and reach the Dermota restaurant. The first parking is for the upper sector. Once you park, go back on the road for about 100 meters and find some tracks going into the woods on the left. Follow those for some time until you see a path splitting to the left and steeply uphill. It should be nicely marked with stone-men, if some storm didn’t destroy them. Keep going up until you reach the wall. The second parking is for the other sectors. After parking again cross the road and go left on a trail towards the wall. It will bring you to the lower left sector. The right one in a minute walk to the right, while there are two more smaller ones on the left side.

WAY TO THE CRAG Approach for lower sectors is extremely easy and short, while for the upper it is the exact opposite.

There are lots of sleeping options in Vipava valley and around Nova Gorica and Solkan. Climber oriented camp is in Vipava and it’s called KAMP TURA. There are many other camps, apartments, hostels and restaurants. We like pizzeria ŽOGICA near Solkan or pizzeria GRAD near Ozeljan.

BEST SEASON Spring and autumn surely offer the best conditions, but with a little luck you can have some great climbing all year round.

SUN & SHADE Upper wall has more shade in the morning and is on the sun after 16h, while the lower is in the shade of trees the whole day, meaning it’s uncomfortable only in the biggest summer heat.

RAIN Because of overhangs you can climb some routes in the lower sector. Both sectors tend to get wet after rain, but the upper one dries a bit quicker than the lower.

STYLE & ROUTES There are two distinct styles of climbing here. Lower sector has short and often overhanging routes with crossings of short roofs. Because the wall has many holds, they are vey fun despite the short height and climbing here is reminiscent of a bouldering gym séance – bicepses, power endurance and a pinch of imagination will be keys to success. Upper sector is more vertical and technical and will demand some endurance and strong fingers.

GEAR & SAFETY The routes are mostly nicely (re)bolted or new and bolted quite close together. The rock is perfect in the lower wall, while it may still crumble in the upper one. Most anchors are with a biner.

KIDS & COMFORT The base of the wall is very comfortable in the lower sector, the kid owners should only mind the road that goes close by. Upper sector is not so comfy and is also a perfect spot to bring a couple of ticks back home with you.

BEGINNERS In the lower left sector you’ll get some nice routes and even more interesting challenges. 4/5

ADVANCED You will be happy with both sectors: for fans of longer verticals above and short boulders below. 4/5

THE BEST  You can find a challenge in climbing the problems on sight or in trying to repeat the brutal Gravitacija. 1/5

WARNING  The area of the karst spring is a protected natural monument. Due to protection of nature, two lower lying sectors were closed in the past. You are expected to behave in your utmost exemplary manner!
