Romania - one of Europe's best kept climbing secrets, its wild mountains harbour a really unique style of sport climbing. We started our trip in Baile Herculane, Romania's most famous climbing area. Unfortunately it was June and there was a 40+ degree heatwave. We'd planned to spend 2 weeks in Herculane but we only managed 2 routes with the kids in the insane heat before we decided to completely upend our climbing plans and travel to Rarau - an incredible remote climbing area at 1600 metres in Romania's north east Carpathian Mountains.
I don't think I can articulate how much we loved this area! We spent day after day hiking up with the kids to climb as a family, belaying the kids on their climbs and establishing projects for ourselves but at this altitude, rain can be a problem which is an issue when you've got gear in projects you want to send before your time is up...
This film is just the tip of the iceberg where Romania's climbing is concerned. We had sooooooo many areas on our list and didn't make it to most of them due to the high temperatures. But I hope it gets you psyched to visit Romania and explore the wild and the climbing areas of this incredibly beautiful country. We'll be back!!!
