Island of Hvar is one of the most beautiful and sunniest islands of the Croatian coast, with the typical Mediterranean climate. Here you can find a number of coves surrounded with crags appropriate for climbing. Some of them are already equipped for climbing, and the crag in the cove Pokrivenik is a newborn climbing site. It is a small, beautiful cove completely surrounded by cliffs built of a superb quality rock. Routes that are bolted are just the beginning; the potential for new routes is huge. The cliff face offers experience in vertical slabs with small sharp holds and in overhangs with tufas. There is enough space for hard routes – not yet utilized. Due to a diverse orientation of walls, the crag is appropriate for climbing in all seasons. Even in hot summer days, early in morning and later afternoon, with a touch of a breeze, climbing here may be a pleasant experience. An additional summer-time benefit is a beautiful beach beneath the crag. There is a small family camp and a tavern in the vicinity. Would you need anything more?

From the road Stari Grad-Sućuraj turn left in village Zastražišće and follow signposts to the cove Pokrivenik. Follow the road for approx. 1.5 km, then take a sharp descending right turn that leads down to the cove. Park the car by the road, mind to leave enough space for other vehicles.

From here to sectors is 5-10 minutes. Mind that you are passing over the private land, therefore be polite to local residents and land owners as our behaviour affects the future of climbing here. There are new approach paths marked recently. See picture...
For sectors Mars and Zeus go back on aphalted road for 200m and turn left on small side road. After 50,60m this road ends, and the well-trodden path continues through the wood, which after 15 minutes brings us to sectors Zeus and Mars. Mars sector is to the right of Zeus. You need to continue under sector Zeus further to the right.
