Approaches
Softeis Pillar and Split Rock:
From the parking (see map), cross the bridge. The Softeis Pillar block is just a few meters off the gravel road by the contruction (water treatment facility). For Split Rock, after crossing the bridge head in to the woods on a faint trail through the woods keeping mostly just left of the boulder field. The big block cracked in half (hence the name split rock) is already visible from the bridge for navigation.
For Cave crag, after crossing the same bridge, turn left on the gravel road for a few meters until you reach a trail marked red and white. Follow this trail up the hill most of the way, passing the antenna post at some point. Once you are directly below the face leave the main trail and make your way up to the base of the cliff.
Depending on the type of vehicle you have and road conditions, you can drive up to the antenna, significantly shortening the approach.
For the Mulliri i Vjetër sector, you park in a different spot (see map). From here cross the small pedestrian bridge by the old mill, pass behind some blocks to make your way to the routes in just a few meters.
