Galeria Gankowa, Cliff formation in High Tatras, Slovakia.
The Galeria Gankowa extends along the northwestern face of Mały Ganek mountain, featuring a 300-meter wall descending toward Dolina Ciężka valley.
The first complete climb of Galeria Gankowa occurred on July 27, 1911, when Ignacy Król, Władysław Kulczyński, and Józef Lesiecki reached the summit.
The climbing routes at Galeria Gankowa include the Klasyczna route, graded IV/V, which serves as an introduction to the cliff's features.
Reaching the cliff requires one of the longest approach hikes in the Tatra mountains, making early morning departures necessary for successful climbing attempts.
The cliff wall contains three distinct sections - western, central, and eastern - each offering different climbing routes with varying technical requirements.
