Ikar Face Rock Climbing

Drive south from Ohrid along the east shore of Lake Ohrid past the village of Lagadin to a sign for the village of Elshani. Turn left and go uphill a kilometer.

On your left as you drive up,  you'll see a hillside with a number of small cliffs and a small pinnacle (none climbed on as of 10-2018).

At 1km up from the main road on the lakeshore, turn left on a small side street and park about 100 feet up from the main road through the village (make sure you aren't blocking local resident access).

Looking up at the hillside, you may see a drainage with a prominent square cliff on its left (N) side. This drainage is about 150 yards to the right (S) of the pinnacle. From the parking spot, walk up and left on a dirt road past some houses into the woods that are  just below the main hillside. If you've followed the correct path, you'll drop down to the base of the drainage that is directly below the crag. Go up and right a hundred yards or so on one of several trails until you can follow another trail back left across the hillside to the drainage and the cliff.

Generally, you'll want to follow one of several trails that come from the right (S [near a small dump]) and lead left (N) across the hillside to the drainage and the crag. Once you have been to the crag and know which trails to take, the approach only takes about 10 minutes from the car.
