Rock climbing in Paklenica, Croatia

Join me on this 5-day adventure and discover why rock climbing in Paklenica is the ultimate paradise for multipitch climbers round the globe.

Off the coast of Croatia, in the Velebit Mountains, lies Paklenica National Park. The park has around 150 km of hiking trails, offering many attractive opportunities for outdoor lovers.

But the real highlight of this place is a big limestone gorge also called Paklenica. If you are a climber this name will probably sound popular to you, as this is considered as one of the best climbing spots in Croatia.

I’ve been climbing all around the world and I have to say that Paklenica is one of the best climbing areas I came across so far.

It has a fantastic combination of mild Adriatic climate, an scenic seacoast and above all, amazing quality rock climbing! Furthermore, you can also find a delicious local cuisine, wine and friendly people.

During this course, we’ll focus on long rock routes of all grades. We’ll go from scrambling up some scenic rock ridges to climb harder, more ambitious routes in a vertical wall.

You’ll learn all the necessary topics for safe multipitch rock climbing, including ropework, rappelling and belays.

We’ll visit several spots, but the jewel will be the north face of Anica kuk, an impressive 350 meters high wall. We may also decide to climb lower but still beautiful routes in nearby walls instead.

Besides, we’ll visit Dabarski kukovi, or even go further down the coast towards Split. All the time, we’ll be searching for the best quality climbing.
