Moving to Bulgaria probably to Veliko Tarnovo in two weeks for at least six months and need info!!!

All help welcome!

Ice Climbing, tourskiing, alpine climbing, sport, trad or just the strange bridge jump now and then. Looking for climbers in the area and no idea where to start!

I knew this would be you

Packing up, less than 40 hours now ... All advice still more than welcome!
Still haven't decided what gear to take, ski, ice or trad for the first weeks ... need to get some rockclimbing and skiing done asap!

Bulgaria, our neighbours, it is like us, under lots of snow so take your winter gear....I believe that they have same problems like here, danger of avalanches, for now no way to climb, so take your ski also .

Ok I talk with a bulgarian friend and this is what she sayed:

Would be crazy to climb now... we have code red for avalanches. It is very cold and with lot of snow not firn .... deep fresh snow. http://www.pss.bg/prognoza.html WITH 2 WORDS - not good for mountaineering )))

12 hours and still no idea how to read cyrillic lol

Avalanche danger is overrated

Trad tools and skigear it is!!!
