No artificial holds

1.2.3. Rarău 168 routes in Crag

Summary:

Mostly Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.447698, 25.563311

summary

One of the most popular climbing areas in the Nort-eastern part of Romania, due to its quality limestone, variable route difficulty, and types, as well as being much cooler in the summertime.

description

Due to its mountainous character, this climbing area experiences a wide palette of meteorological conditions, and especially wind (because of its exposed position) but despite that, it can still provide a viable season of up to 6 months per year.

To that end, the general consensus is that the start of the season is around the end of March, up until late October, with June and July featuring the highest amount of precipitation. However, due to the prevalence of wind year-round, as well as the shifting position of the Sun across the multiple crags, most routes dry up considerably quickly.

For the most accurate on-site conditions, it is advisable to contact the local mountain rescuers' headquarters (Salvamont Rarau), which is conveniently located at about 15 minutes from the crags.

access issues

The three main access roads to the Rarau climbing area are located either in the Chiril, or Pojorata Valley, and lately, also the Izvorul Alb Valley. Each road features decent conditions, suitable for most vehicles.

Care must be taken when attempting access early in the season (February-April), as depending on the snow conditions, these roads might be temporarily closed. Again, it is advisable to contact the local mountain rescuers' headquarters (Salvamont Rarau).

approach

Considering its "massif" type and characteristics, the Rarau climbing area and crags feature quite easy and fast access to and from each. Following the tourist trails, which feature trail markers that are in good condition, one can easily access almost all crags.

The main trail that encompasses all the crags is marked with the Blue Cross, and following it you'll basically go around all crags.

Aside for Peretele Cotetului, Criza, and Piatra Soimului, all the other crags can be reached using the aforementioned trail, the exception being the Berii crag, which will require a small detour.

where to stay

Accommodation is available in the Chiril or Pojorata valleys, as well as the Rarau Alpine Hotel, located right near the crags, as well as in the (unofficial) campsite, located in the vicinity of the mountain rescuers' headquarters (Salvamont Rarau), in the same meadow.

Care must be taken when opting for the campsite, as grazing is still carried out in the meadow, and encounters with sheep, cows, and shepherd dogs are very likely. Last but not least, mosquitos are a real concern during summertime, as well as in the local spring, whose waters are of questionable quality, and are not recommended for consumption. Bringing your own drinking water is highly advisable.

history

The development of the climbing area started back in the 2000s', and during the last 23 years, it has seen several peaks, especially when multiple editions of the "Rarau Climbing Open" contest were hosted in the area.

As of late, the development has reached a certain degree of stagnation, with new routes being put up intermittently, by one of the main developers and route setters of the area - Nicolae Durnac, whose experience, knowledge, and dedication to maintaining the climbing area make him the unanimous caretaker in the Rarau climbing area.

Those seeking additional information regarding climbing in the area, and more, are advised to contact him directly, at: +40 740 25 96 57, or nicolaeolaedurnac at gmail.com.

Summary:

Sport climbing and Trad climbing

Lat / Long: 47.162322, 26.229313

summary

The climbing area near Agapia monastery includes one distinct sector, with two separate cliffs. The rock is high-quality sandstone.

description

High-quality sandstone crag, with both trad and sport routes, as well as some potential highball boulders. Still in development. All routes are in top-out style, and feature no chain tops. It is advisable to use static ropes and rappel from the trees above in order to clean/prepare the routes. Extra care must be taken for the top parts, as these are most likely to remain humid and damp after rain, making the top-outs a quite tricky endeavor.

approach

500m drive upstream of Agapia monastery, followed by a 10-15min hike on a visible path which starts on the right side of the road (when coming from the monastery). A small meadow, adjacent to the river can serve as a good parking spot.

where to stay

Agapia village and surroundings, camping in the meadows nearby.

ethic

Don't climb straight after rain/snow or on fog - rock is friable

Mostly Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.080779, 27.648399

summary

The area has 2 small crags which were equipped and are maintained by the local sport association "Alpine Club Repedea Iasi".

description

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

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

Because of the sandy rock it is forbidden to use any type of aid climbing, ice axe and crampons.

At the time of writing this there is a romanian flag perched, but not on the Flag Tower but on top of the wall with all the other routes.
