Kompanj

Kompanj is in a way a senior crag of climbing around Buzet. It was first discovered by Austrians, followed by Croatians, Slovenians, Italians, and filled with routes of all grades. This is one of the nicest crags, as the sectors are connected, and most routes are excellent – even in the newest sectors to the left. The idyllic village of Klobasi just adds to the scenery and it is no surprise that on a nice day it can be quite crowded here (but it spreads out evenly).

Drive from Buzet towards Rijeka and turn left into Roč. Soon you will turn right for Kompanj and Krkuž. The road splits again at the cemetery. Go right and drive through the woods until you reach the village Klobasi. Park at the specially designated parking before the village. From parking lot just continue up the hill and then follow the signs to get to desired sector of Kompanj.

If you use the access through the village, behave yourself kindly and unobtrusive. The locals are welcoming to climbers so let‘s keep it that way.

You will need a bit of everything. Most routes in Kompanj are not too overhanging, so technique and endurance are mostly required. But in the harder routes your strength comes into play – especially around Rocket Max and in Olymp sector. Apart from that, Kompanj has everything – from sharp edges to tufas, from vertical to overhanging wall. Like sector Babna in Osp, only it‘s not as polished.

Although you can climb a lot with minimal gear, you will need at least 14 quickdraws and longer rope for some routes.
