bolts when necessary. When we climbed Mosoraski (350m – 10 pitch) on the Anica Kuc, I was glad that we had a rack (despite the guide saying it was fully bolted). The bolts were very spaced at approximately 5 – 8m apart.
Logistics
Getting there is simple, there are many airlines that fly from the UK to Zadar, which is the nearest airport and is ideally located approx 35 mins from Starigrad.
Hire cars are widely available from the airport, however we opted to do without and decided to use a taxi all week, which proved to be the most cost effective option.
Accommodation is plentiful, cheap and literally a stones throw from the beach!
There are lots of seaside restaurants and bars that are ideally situated in Starigrad. The food is a little basic but is nice and good value for money.
To Summarise
Croatia as a climbing venue didn’t occur to me as a climbing venue until I began researching suitable Summer weather climbing spots. It has everything to offer whether you plan to go as a pair, or arrange a full-on expedition you will not be disappointed.
It has a wide range of climbs ideally located in the sun or shade and when you have had enough for the day, your accommodation is more than likely located on the seafront which is ideal for an afternoon dip!
The acid test for me is whether I would go back? It’s not a question if, more a matter of when......
