Wierch pod Fajki, Mountain summit in Zakopane, Poland
Wierch pod Fajki is a mountain summit in the High Tatras reaching approximately 2,135 meters with two distinct peaks. The rock formations shape the character of this ridge in distinctive ways.
The first documented ascent of the lower northwest peak took place on July 17, 1895 by climbers Janusz Chmielowski and Jan Bachleda Tajber. This early exploration contributed to mapping the region.
The name refers to rock formations along the ridge that resemble organ pipes through their vertical arrangement. Climbers passing through can observe these stone patterns from various viewpoints.
Access requires climbing skills and technical knowledge since this summit lies outside marked trails. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and varying conditions.
The western wall contains both solid stone and fragile material creating different technical challenges across climbing routes. This mix makes exploring the various ascent options interesting.
