Routen in Rumänien für ausgewählte Schwierigkeit

Danger - loose rocks! Everything is moving up there but you can find a way on solid rocks going up. Bring pitons and 2x60m ropes if you plan coming back.

The two rappel points are now equipped with mechanical anchors

Scramble on the main aiguille of Coltul Prapadit. Friable rock, so pro is mainly trees

P1: Traverse right on the sandstone layer above the skinny tree, then after going round the corner keep traversing right for easier access upward. Belay at the twin trees, on the living one.

P2: Follow a ledge leftwards and climb up on easy terrain when it ends. Belay off the bushes right below the peak.

Climbing style tends to be friction slabs (thankfully the conglomerate is v. frictiony). One big "break in the wall" at 1900m - Priponul Țapului, can be climbed on a diedral (with in situ pegs, tricky exit on left side and a hard to find belay station above) or avoided by heading right and up through a bushy bit, then taking a horizontal path through the bushes back left. Funnel-style top so increased avalanche risk in the winter.

Ridge going directly to cable the Romanian Army uses to move donkeys across the gorge in training exercises. Route name in guide not quite right.
