Climbing is slowly recovering in this country. Halted for about a decade by the war, a new generation of climbers has been opening crags and bolting routes.

This resulted in the publication of the magnificent guidebook (see Guidebook Section) which is not only a great guide to all crags in the country, but also a wonderful tourist guide.
