Gánok, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia
Gánok reaches an elevation of 2462 meters and features steep walls flanking three valleys: Rumanova, Ťažká, and Kačacia in the High Tatras mountain range.
The first successful climb to Gánok's summit occurred on August 11, 1895, when Władysław Kłeczyński and Klimek Bachleda, accompanied by porter Jozef Gąsienica, reached the top.
The name Gánok originates from an old Slovak term meaning 'veranda,' reflecting the geographical features of this mountain formation in the local language.
Access to the summit requires guidance from professional mountaineers, as the location within Tatra National Park maintains strict regulations for climber safety.
The Galéria Ganku section of the mountain contains notable climbing routes established in the early 1900s, marking the emergence of sport climbing in this region.
