Crag climbing guide
Vinkuran climbing guide
Sport climbing in an old quarry at Vinkuran, just south of Pula, whose stone was used for the city's Roman amphitheatre. Walls face every direction, so there is sun or shade in any season. The natural wall is mostly overhanging with pockets and jugs; the cut walls rely partly on manufactured or glued holds. Roughly 45-50 routes, 5a-8a.
