Includes 3 areas outside of the park, which are Vaganac, Sopnja?a, Vranja?a, and Karin.

The multi-pitch routes at Paklenica are a mixture of sport routes and traditional routes (requiring cams and nuts). However the guidebook indicates this at the start of each route, and often (especially the easier routes) there is at combination of bolted protection and traditional protection on the same route.

All the routes are shown on colour photo topos, and most of the multi-pitch routes have an additional topo diagram. Each pitch is graded (using French grades) along with the overall length of the route.

Published in July 2024 (Updated 9th Edition), the text at the start of each crag and/or section is in Croatian, German, and English text. This new updated 8th edition is a modern design, with all the topos in full colour, and attractive action photographs..
