You can think of this as an unofficial on-line climbing guide to Paklenica. Here you can find a short overview of the rich history of climbing in Paklenica and how it became what it is today. If you are planning a visit, you can get an idea of what to expect in terms of types and difficulties of the routes available as well as recognize how big this place actually is and why having the latest official climbing guidebook is a good idea.
In the late 1930's when climbing in Paklenica first began, climbers were already aiming for the biggest lines they could find. Being the highest cliff around it was of no surprise that Anića kuk was the primary interest of some of the best climbers of the time. The first climber who attempted to climb the 350 m high main wall of Anića kuk was Dragutin Brahm. Tragically, he died during his solo attempt in 1938. The first route on Anića kuk was climbed two years later by Slavko Brezovečki and Marijan Dragman
