Krraba

Crag Summary

We originally planned to climb at Lasagna wall (shorter walk in, flatter base, nice-looking wall with vert climbs) but the all-day sun was a bit too harsh on the day we visited – also another climber was extremely effusive about Cyclops Cave… And so we continued on to the cave (with a sweet stray giant dog leading the way). We had to navigate a couple of sections of semi-scree/boulders that needed some care, but the destination did not disappoint.

A wonderfully atmospheric spot with views for days, plenty of steep treats inside and some more vert options on the sides.

• Style: single pitch sport
• Parking: 41.22172, 19.97954
  WARNING: gravel road – we made it in a 7m motorhome in bone-dry weather.
• Topo and Approach details: Thursday, 27 Crags
• We visited on: Thursday, 31st Oct 2024
• Who else was there: maybe 5-10 other climbers, visiting from outside Albania. Maybe it was a bit busier due to the climbing festival that took place recently – however this definitely seems to be one of the more popular Albanian crags.

Nearby

On the way out south from the capital Tirana.

Bovilla crag is also near Tirana on the north and was probably the most notable crag that we missed in Albania. The road up and parking sounded a little hectic – but people we talked to did think our 7m motorhome would have made it… probably!
