Rock Climbing in Romania

Crimpy holds in the lower half, then balance moves upwards the top.

Good jugs in the lower part, followed by a long reach. Then you'll find a rest place on a ledge. Technical climbing with balance moves on slopers to reach the lower-off.

This is a hard 7a, some might say it is a 7a . There are two sections with a resting place in-between. The lower section requires strong fingers and good foot-work. The higher one is on technical balance moves. Shares the same lower-off with Extrema Stanga and Pizda Bunicii.

This is one of the easiest routes from Merisor sector. His name was inspired by the apple tree grown at the base of the rock. After you climb the starting bulge, continue on sidepulls and underclings (crux). From the ledge above till the top of the route there are no difficult moves.

The first part is on good holds, followed by a long reach move (crux). You reach then a ledge that makes a good resting place. Continue along a small crack using layback technique and then straight upwards. The top is shared with Merisor.

Start climbing from the cave in the right end of the sector. Bridging and a long reach are required to get over the lip (crux) and then you'll reach a rest place on a comfortable ledge. Continue upwards on the steep face on fingery holds (crux). You must look carefully to find the best hand and foot placements. The sequence looks harder than it actually is. The lower-off is shared with Merisor. Take care just before the top where the rock is a bit loose!
