Żabi Mnich, Border summit in High Tatras, Poland and Slovakia
The granite peak of Żabi Mnich rises to 2,146 meters, featuring a steep western face and multiple climbing routes through its compact walls.
The first recorded ascent of Żabi Mnich occurred on August 18, 1907, when climbers Janusz Chmielowski, Adam Kroebl, and Józef Gąsienica Tomków reached the summit.
The name Żabi Mnich translates to Frog Monk in English, reflecting the regional naming traditions of the Tatra Mountains between Poland and Slovakia.
Access to the summit requires navigation through marked trails from Palenica Białczańska, passing Czarny Staw lake before reaching the climbing routes.
The mountain presents distinct climbing challenges with its granite composition, offering technical routes that combine slab, face, and corner climbing techniques.
