The Trieste coast has lots of options for sleeping and eating. Look for agroturismi and B&B’s in every village. There are many campsites scattered around, namely Carso camp or Pineta near Sistiana. Or – stay in Slovenia, since everything is quite close.

We would definitely recommend staying in these climber-tested establishments:

VOVK CAMP

POD KOSTANJI 

OCIZLA HOSTEL 

BEST SEASON As goes for all the coastal walls, the best day for climbing is winter – of course if the sky is clear.

Otherwise the most stable conditions are in spring and autumn. Since the wall faces south, summer is absolutely too hot.

SUN & SHADE You’re most likely to get some shade in the morning.

RAIN Rain is a perfect opportunity to get soaking wet in any route. So, no.

STYLE & ROUTES Routes are more or less vertical and the harder ones are pretty smooth, so you need good technique, great footwork and strong fingers. The easy routes are very pleasant though. You can even find an odd overhang or tufa. Both sectors have a bunch of easy routes on the right, but don‘t underestimate the others, especially 7s.

GEAR & SAFETY The gear is new, the rock is fresh, sharp and fairly compact. It can crumble only on the sides and on the top.

KIDS & COMFORT The approach is not too horrible, the space under the wall is also mostly OK. The situation is not ideal for the kids, but it‘s acceptable.

BEGINNERS Two groups of easy routes, which aren’t bad at all, will suffice for a couple of visits here. 2/5

ADVANCED Harder routes are longer and more interesting, but more than continuous they are characterized by cruxes. For climbers, who can focus at the right moment. 3/5

THE BEST  If you stumbled into Aurisina by chance, just enjoy the view and help those weaker than you, when they are stopped at the crux. 1/5
