The competition has been organized regularly for a number of years for Bulgarian cavers, but this year we decided to open it to other countries as well.
It will take place on 29 April and 30 April 2017 in Karlukovo village, Bulgaria.
There will be 3 separate competitions:
  • A technical competition for a 2 person team that includes: rigging and derigging of a pit, passing through a pre-rigged vertical rope system, knots knowledge, self-rescue.
  • Cave survey and preparation of a complete map of a small cave by a 2 person team
  • Speed climbing
For the best performers in each competition there will be awards, provided by local equipment shops.
