Goryczkowa Czuba, Mountain summit in Western Tatras, Slovakia
Goryczkowa Czuba is a mountain summit in the Western Tatras that rises to 1912 meters and features two separate peaks divided by a shallow gap. The main ridge of the range passes over both elevations, creating the distinctive shape you see from surrounding viewpoints.
The mountain was first summited in winter during 1908 when mountaineers Feliks Antoniak and Józef Lesiecki reached the peak. This early winter ascent marked a significant moment in the climbing history of the region.
The name of the peak connects to Hala Goryczkowa and derives from Goryczka, a common surname among local mountain communities.
The northern face drops steeply and forms a roughly 200 meter wall that demands technical climbing skills. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and only attempt routes here with proper mountaineering experience.
The northern side is made of granitoid rock while the southern slopes show limestone formations from the middle elevations downward. This contrasting geology creates visually distinct landscapes on opposite sides of the peak during your climb.
