Back to the roots Vol. 01

71 BACK TO THE ROOTS
Neretva river valley
The climbing is razor-sharp, steep
and full of holes, of a technical and
sometimes athletic nature - wonderful!
The rock quality is impressive, we’ve
both never seen this type of rock
before.
Towards our way to Sarajevo we stop
in Central Bosnia in a crag called
Pršljanica. The climbing reminds us
of a lot of our local limestone areas
in Germany, technical and crimpy,
according to the motto “hold on and
don’t let go”.
It’s probably not Bosnia’s most
impressive crag, but worth a
detour!
Sarajevo - the charm of a capital
that you won’t soon forget! A clash
of cultures, a city shaken by war
and suffering. The climbing area
can be reached on foot from the
city center. We skip the main sport
climbing crag area Dariva and do a
short (historic) multi-pitch on Babin
Zub (grandmother’s tooth) which
overlooks the whole city.
Sight-seeing climbing, so to speak.
The sunset view from the summit over
Sarajevo compensates for the “wild”
climbing on sometimes dubious rock
quality.
