Island Hvar, Croatia
ABOUT HVAR
Welcome to the island of Hvar
Hvar has amazing cliffs located on the beaches, with clear blue water and very good rock quality. The beauty of nature is one of the unique and unforgettable climbing vacations for every climber.
We couldn't arrive on this magical island for many years, but we were very impressed with the beauty and such nice climbing Hvar has. Some beaches have cliffs next to the sea, and some are in the hills and have an amazing view of it. In summer you can enjoy some adventure climbing known as DWS. We visited Hvar in November and were surprised by how warm the weather can be, and the incredible rock to climb. On our visit in Autumn, we added one beautiful crag Lucisce, with some incredible tufa routes; you can check our blog post with a description of the routes.
Characteristic of the rock
Climbing sectors on island are Sveta Nedelja, Vela Stiniva, Milna, Pokrivenik, Stranice, Podstine, DWS, Lucišče. Topos you can find on 27crags or on hvarclimbing.com. Solid, sharp orange and grey limestone is a typical rock of Hvar with technical routes on crimps; there are incredible overhanging tufa-routes and pockety routes. There are plenty of routes for beginners in Milna, Podstine, and Sveta Nedelja. For the strongest climbers, we developed a new sector Lucisce in 2021, so they are waiting for the first ascents.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Getting on Hvar and settled there and start enjoying your climbing holidays. Discuss your goals for coaching week and the future.
Day 2: Having an easy start with lots of easy routes for warming up the body and getting used to the rock.
Day 3: Climbing on vertical routes. Concentrating more on on-sight climbing technique and mental training – discuss how to approach on-sight, visualization, preparation, analysis, learning where to clip, resting exercise, learn commitment, and reading the route.
Day 4: Climbing hard routes. You will learn how to climb more challenging routes with the redpoint approach step by step. You will know how to do visualization for the redpoint, which is part of mental coaching. The red point is not only climbing but also falling coaching. It is part of the game and learning process for gaining better performance in the working route, even when we are pumped to get that 100% out of our bodies.
Day 5: Rest day is part of training, so that we might take one as well. Not necessary for having a complete rest day; we might still do some running and yoga in the morning and swimming or easy climbing in the afternoon. It also depends on the group and their needs and wishes. One of the rest day activities is climbing without hands or using fewer hands, toprope of course. These skills are excellent for learning how to be efficient, improving climbing techniques for more challenging routes, and having fun.
Day 6: Climbing days for on-sight attempt with repetition if necessary. You will try to put the mental knowledge in the climbing and try hard.
Day 7: We will return to your redpoint project to test your head and power. You are learning how to mentally prepare for sending the projects and the proper mindset for this day. And also, not only is sending a reward, but the process should be the goal that motivates us.
Day 8: The final day or more relaxed day for you will be climbing without pressure from us. You choose whatever you wish that day to climb. You must enjoy and try to climb as much as your head and muscles let you. We can repeat your projects, foot and hand technique, mental coaching, falling practice, or hang out in climbing crags and have fun with no stress.
