Rock
Climbing around Split
There are over 600 sports routes around the Split areas including
rock climbing on the islands
of Hvar, Brac & Vis. All of these crags are limestone
and are generally single pitch, though at Omis there are some
bolted multi pitch climbing up to 300m long. Also at Bukovac
Biokovo, in the mountains behind Makarskathere are bolted
sports routes between 215 to 600m long. The rock climbing
in this region is often in spectacular surroundings; such
as the fantastic views from Trogir and Malacka; to the beach
climbing on Hvar island at Suplja stina.
The
crags around Split easily offer a good weeks worth of quality
rock climbing. Split and Hvar Island are popular holiday resorts,
making this an ideal area to include a few days climbing as
part of your general holiday. Hvar Island also offers fantastic
deep water soloing.
Generally
it's ideal to rock climb in this area throughout the year
at all of these crags, except at Kozjak in the summer and
Markezina greda in the winter. |
