Description

Suncuius is a very popular area, but not only for climbing. The area offers nice hiking trails, campings, some via-ferratas, rafting, caving and more so donțt be surprise if you'll see lots of people around especially in the weekend.
There are lots of caping places in the valley and at the end of the road there's a camping with water, toilet and electricity for 30 lei/nigh/camper(summer of 2020) right in front of Zenovia crag.

Zenovia
Is the most popular sector, easily accesible with a small camping and toilets, mountain resque point and a cave opened for visitors right next to the crag. Sadly this means that most of the routes up to 6b are polished, but some of them still offer nice climbing.

Music Land
Is the sector with the easiest routes, but the fact that some of them are a bit older and the dirt road which passes right beneath the routes makes it not ideal especially in the weekend when there are lots of cars and people passing around.

Surplomba
A sector on which half of the bolts are new, half are old, it was one of the first sectors and the routes which were harder had chipped or bolted holds added to them. They have since been removed and some of the climbs are well liked by the more advanced climbers.

Țancul Mare
Recently rebolted offers a few nice routes in an islolated area.

Valea Misidului
The newest crag has a nice relax area just next to the routes, since it's not on a marked trail is one of the most quiet sectors from Suncuius. All routes are friendly bolted and have screwgate carabiners for descent in the top.
Since is a new area some holds might break, also take the grades with a pinch of salt as many of the routes still have only a few ascents.

History

Even though climbing in the area has a long history, the bolting of sport climbing routes mostly started around the year 2000 , with lots of routes added in that period, afterwards there was a period when almost no new routes were added up until 2020 when a new sector was opened which is stil in development, Valea Misidului.
The most emblematic route of the area is probably Amnezia which catches the eyes of every climber and is simply a gem.
