Belićev Stup and Belićev Stijena
Belićev Stup
Beautiful 40m high monolith with a steep and compact wall, just above the sea. Fortunately there is a small ledge to start. The lower part is breccia which crumbles at places, above you will find best limestone. Everyone who needs is fingers to make her / his living shouldn’t climb here. Due to the steepness and the extreme sharp pockets and flakes you can’t loosen your grip. However, you will be rewarded by a fantastic scenery.
Access
From the parking place in Brseč walk back (South) and down the first road to the left. After a few steps take the horizontal road (house access) to the right. At the end of the road follow a trail which is heading straight on. After a couple of meters a small footpath starts to the left and leads you down to overgrown ancient cultural land. Most of the time you have a stonewall to the right and the slope to the left.
After passing by a prominent tree you’re just above the cliff “Belivec Stijena”. To get to the “Stup” you are heading further down, traverse the base of “Belivec Stijena” and scramble down to a small saddle. From the saddle a fixed rope and some iron holds will help you to the top of “Stup”. Alternatively you can climb down (nasty) to the right into a small bay and traverse to the start of the climbs (until “Dr. No” fixed rope).
