Climbing Areas

Romania, located in S-E Europe, is crossed by the Carpathian Mountains. Due to this geographical positioning, there are numerous climbing areas all over the country.

You can do everything from multipitch to sports climbing and bouldering.

The most important climbing areas (comprising all climbing disciplines) are:

1. Costila area - situated in Bucegi Mountains
2. Cheile Bicazului (Bicaz Gorge) - Hasmas Mountains
3. Cheile Turzii (Turzii Gorge) - close to Apuseni Mountains, in N-W Romania
4. Piatra Craiului Massif
5. Baile Herculane - Mehedinti Mountains

Other important sites are:

1. Postavaru Massif (sports climbing and multipitch)
2. Sohodolului Gorge (sports climbing)
3. Buila Vanturarita (multipitch)
4. Retezat Mountains (Multipitch)
5. Fagaras Mountains, Caltun Wall / Peretele Caltun (Multipitch)
6. Rametea (sports climbing)

I will try to cover as much as possible from these areas, with their emblematic routes and crags.
