Georgian climbers of all decades have been climbing at the Botanical Garden – one of the best places to go rock climbing in Tbilisi.

How to get there
From Freedom Square, you can catch the bus no. 90 or alternatively take a taxi for 2-3 Gel. In either case, you should drop off at the Institute of Botany (if you don’t know the exact spot, don’t hesitate to ask the driver). Entrance from the parking near statue of ” Mother of Georgia ‘. Then you fallow the river up and arrive to the climbing area.
What you need
If you want to climb sport style, you will need a 60 m rope and 12 quickdraws. A helmet is not necessary but recommended if other climbers are on the wall simultaneously. If you stick to top rope, one 60 m rope is sufficient.
Best time to climb
You can climb in the Botanical Garden throughout the whole year, whereas it might get a bit too hot in summer. If you go in the summertime anyway, the best time is in the morning from 9-11. A.M. or in the evening from 7-10 P.M.
Routes
Apart from the top rope routes, route no. 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 22 are bolted. No. 1 and 2 are projects yet to be bolted. The bouldering routes are not marked on the rocks, but are easily recognizable and can be found on the photos here.
You also have the option to climb 80 m traverse through all the rock face at the Botanical Garden.

Guga,
Mike Jones referred me to this website, which is very good. I have just arrived in Georgia. I will be living and working in Tbilisi for the next 2-3 years. My wife and I rock climb, mountaineer and backcountry ski. We are very much interesed in learning about the climbing in Georgia. I hope to see you soon on the rock…
Josh, are you still in Georgia? Did you ever get to go out and hang on a rock? I’ve lived in this part of the world for a while and I might also be coming to Tbilisi and staying for a month or so. If you’re still there we should think about meeting near the rocks sometime.

Hi Josh,
Are you still climbing in Georgia, Tbilisi? I arrived here with my gf week ago and going to stay in Tbilisi for another 2 weeks. Looking for some local climbers to climb together.
Let me know if you are going to climb during next weeks.
Cheers,
Vitaliy

I was there two days ago climbing with the family. Access is still available although you have to walk through the construction site to get there.
Watch for wasp’s nests on the rocks. They get angry and sting you.
