Proevce: Rock Climbing Guide
Proevce is a small village located on the Eastern edge of the city of Kumanovo in the North East of
the Republic of Macedonia. Within the village is a small park with a natural water spring, just above
this natural water spring is a small array of rocks called Zivkova Karpa where there are several
opportunities for a variety of small and simple, but fun climbing including Trad & Bouldering.
There are 2 main rocks face with food opportunity for climbing:
1. Davidovska Rock – A flat south facing cliff face approximately 8 – 10 metres in total height.
The rock has a small cave hole formation going through it and overlooks all of Kumanovo
especially from the top where is it fairly simple to set up a top rope system.
2. The West Face – The west face is a highly wooded West facing wall that runs all the way up
the steep path leading the top. It starts from the abandoned train tracks at the bottom
where there is a small cave in the wall.
Here are a few of the climbs and boulders that have already be completed and registered. All climbs
and boulders have been registered on UK Climbing and can be found at:
