Exploring Lithuania

On a trip to the Baltic countries plus Finland while we are there! First stop is Vilnius, flying from Amsterdam. It is on!

First thing after a short bus ride to the center is visiting the bouldering gym Montis Magia. An adventure in itself! And the opening times did not meet our schedule:

So off to Kaunas an hour train ride from Vilnius with a nice bouldering gym. We did not go all the way to Lithuania while not being able to boulder that day!
It was the worse/best timing we could have had: the next day was going to be a competition at Miegantys Drambliai. So no routes on the wall, however, routes were made up right on the spot by route builder Pauvalo. A great climbing buddy!

The gym is compact and has a nice atmosphere. Normally the routes are labeled, instead of one colour holds on a route. Good place! We heard that there is a great boulder gym at the coastal city Klaipeda. Too far detour for our trip unfortunately.

In the evening we made a short walk around Kaunas and took the train back. A nice day!
