Description
Overhung
Brittle when wet
Sheltered from wind
South West
Located beneath the Bucium plateau inside a forest it is used by local climbers for training. The crags are around 8 meters high and have lots of over hanged rocks. The rock is pretty sandy and is unstable in some parts.
Approach
Flat
5-10 min
Exit Iasi towards the Bucium neighborhood and follow the road uphill until you get to Paun village. Go further near the exit from Paun until you see a road sign showing the direction to Barnova 3km pointing right which you need to follow until you get onto the Bucium plateau where there's a very high communications antena.
At that point you need follow the dirt road to the left diagonally until you will enter the forest near the margin of the plateau.
You need to follow a bike/hike trail around 200 meters that goes along with the steep margin of the forest and get down to access the first smallest crag.
For the second crag you need to go further through the forest on the bike/hike trail for another 100 meters until you notice the trail going down to the right.
Where to stay
Although legally not permitted you can camp at the second crag without problems and even make a fire. Since the area is secluded and assuming that you will not make any noise there's little chance that anyone will notice you.
Ethic
Well established
Because of the sandy rock it is forbidden to use any type of aid climbing, ice axe and crampons.
