International > Europe > Croatia > NP of Paklenica > Veliki Čuk

Description

This is where the bulk of the routes on Veliki Cuk are. This includes many moderate to difficult "Classic" routes (requiring nuts or cams aka "friends"). There are also several fully bolted moderate routes here for those that didn't bring a rack. Water Song & Nidia are two of these routes (6a+ & 6b+).

Getting There

The directions of the parent area describe how to get here but to reiterate:

Park your car and walk into the canyon. Stay on the main trail. You will cross one bridge and before the second bridge cut up and to the right on scree. After a short while take the right fork, you'll be descending down the trail you pass on the left. Before long you get to some cables which you must use to climb and traverse around the rock. This will put you near the base of the ridge (Sjeverno rebro). Traverse across a kind of open bowl with a treed gully above.
