Climbing in Croatia- looking for a local partner/suggestions
|
Will be in Croatia August 22nd to the 27th. Never been climbing in europe, looking for a local to show us the best routes! I am interested in single pitch sport, and hope to do lots of deep water soloing, maybe in Hvar or Brac? If you have any experience climbing in Croatia let me know whats good! |

You can try cliffbase.com for DWS but I suggest to contact owner first. |

I was in Croatia in May and just wanted to add a bit. The climbing at Cliffbase is really good but faces south, except for half a dozen routes that get nearly all day shade. |

I climbed in Croatia a few years ago. We climbed at a place called Kalnik, near Zagreb, and Dvigrad, near Pula. Kalnik was fun because you are climbing within the ruins of a castle, however the routes were just ok. Dvigrad was a really good cragging area, lots of good short sport routes. |

Thank you guys for all the info! I think we are definitely going to try Cliffbase in Hvar and Paklenica. One more question- we are flying into Milan and then driving to Split. Google says the drive is 9 hours; does that sound correct? Any traffic concerns? |
|
We didn't drive that entire distance directly but I'm guessing with the Croatia border crossing it is closer to 11 hours. There's climbing in Osp, Slovenia which is roughly half way. |

If it's august and saturday chances for huge jams are almost 100%.Critical places are italian highways around Triest, croatian border and toll gates in Croatia. |

Domzalski in Paklanica is a fun 4 pitch 10a-ish well protected sport route. |
