Description

This is a huge ridge of limestone that rises from the Cheile Rasnovului up and towards the northeast and forms the backbone of Mount Postavarul. This long ridge has tons of rock with the most accessible and popular parts being at the southwest end. The area called Aboland is the most popular real climbing area with over 120 routes. The most talked about area is at the end in Cheile Rasnovului, this sharp cut in the ridge carved by a stream has routes, but also can be busy with tourists playing with the via ferrata and other guided group climbing.
The area is sunny and faces southeast.

Getting There

Drive their from the west, from the town of Rasnov. Follow dirt roads and drive towards the obvious canyon cut in the ridge to the east. You'll see the first parking area protected from rock fall by a strange big steel roof with the via ferrata and ziplines above. This is the start.
