Best climbing areas in Montenegro?
Durmitor and Prokletije for big multi-pitch and bouldering; Podgorica, Plužine, Kolašin and Bar for sport climbing.
For a small country, Montenegro has a remarkable spread of rock — from roadside sport crags an hour from the beach to alpine limestone walls deep in national parks. Where you go depends on what you want and the time of year.
For bolted sport climbing, head to the crags around Podgorica, Plužine, Kolašin and Bar — short approaches, 200+ routes from IV to X+ UIAA, and a long season thanks to low elevation and sunny aspects. For multi-pitch and big walls, Durmitor and Prokletije hold hundreds of routes on tall faces, some inside deep canyons, best climbed in summer. The same high mountains offer superb natural bouldering. Our complete climbing guide maps it all out.
