This winter I decided to "breathe" the new life into the little "lost world" on the rock massif "Demir Kapija" because I want to open "Kozija Peshtera"(Goat Cave) for true lovers of adventure
Even without climbing visiting this place will give for you an unforgettable experience.
7-8 years ago Climbing Federation of Macedonia have been started to bolt some routes in this beautiful sector, but unfortunately, the work was not finished.
Now, on the left side of the grotto, I am prepared the following routes:
1) "Mama Mia" - 33m, 6b + (possibly to climb as 2 pitches, there is the anchor point in the middle, R1 -. 6b +/ R2 - 6b +)
2) "Way Home left" - 50m, 5c (possibly to climb as 2 pitches, there is the anchor point in the middle, R1 -. 5c/ R2 - 5a, on top anchor is no rings - supposed output to trail on the plateau, also you have variant to traverse to the right under the tree and get ring of " Mama Mia ")
3) "Way Home right" - 33m, 6c + (possibly to climb as 2 pitches, there is the anchor point in the middle, R1 -. 6b / R2 - 6c)
4) "Zoki Poki" - 18m, 6a + (old route, cleared again of unstable blocks and new bolt installed on the anchor point
5) "Kriva Vilushka left" - 40m, 7b (possibly to climb as 3 pitches, there is the 2 anchor points in the route, R1 -. 6a/ R2 – 7a/ full route – 7b)
6) "Kriva Vilushka right" - 40m, 7c? (possibly to climb as 3 pitches, there is the 2 anchor points in the route, R1 -. 6a/ R2 – 7a/ full route – 7c?)
7) "Open Sesam" - 15m, 4
Other old routes in the cave has not yet been checked and not cleaned - climbing is not recommended!
The cave still have considerable potential for new (simple and most difficult) routes and the work will continue.
