Šip

Access

Half right behind the church starts a good footpath which leads downwards alongside old stonewalls. After a while the footpath becomes steeper and curves down towards the tongue of land called “Sip”. After the 7th hairpin bend you’ve a good view of “Sip” and the opposing small harbour of “Pec”. In the following hairpin bend a small “track” points straight ahead, first horizontal and then a few meters upwards to the edge of the cliff (abseil point “Salty Dog”, 60m, 3x20m). Two hairpin bends further you will reach the exit of “Renata” (slings, do not abseil!). Approximately 10m to the right (“Ship by Sip” is in between) is a small corner with the abseil point of “Old Friendship” which can be reached by climbing down (50m, 2x25m. The intermediate belay becomes visible very late!)

There are two more abseil points left of “Renata” which can be seen in the topo (both 2x25m). Caution! All other routes have NO intermediate belay! Ideally you should use a 50m or 60m fixed rope (“Salty Dog”) when climbing those routes. When you are pulling down the rope don’t forget the obligate runner otherwise your rope will take a bath.
