Purple slices were the very last pitch finishing off the 360m world record route. The Slices holds have one thing in common; a right-angled side that makes them all fit together. This way the possibilities to play with the pieces is truly endless. The TOP hold of the whole 360 m climb is off-course included.
It was the biggest and most challenging project we’ve ever done. Behind it, there was years of dreaming, planning, trying to find a way and brainstorming. The project finally got a green light in spring 2020 and there was no way back.
Setting team
The majority of the route was set by two international routesetters, Katja Vidmar and Simon Margon. However, the route was set thanks to huge support of Stanko Gruden and Aleš Stražar and their high rope access as well as rope rigging skills.
