About this audio guide
This guide to Marjan viewpoint in Split starts partway up a limestone cliff, where a climber chalks her hands on a ridge Croatian sport climbers still call the cradle of their sport. It traces the roughly five hundred meters of bolted routes along the top of Marjan, and the generations of Split locals who trained on this rock long before the country had climbing gyms. You'll also hear about the three hundred stone steps up from the Riva through the Varoš quarter, worn smooth by lunch-break runners rather than tourists. Stand at the First Viewpoint and you're sharing the same reward the climbers on the cliff behind you are chasing.
