A unique area for Romania with thuggy athletic roof climbing on good holds and mostly permanent gear. Lots of link-ups and crossing lines exist, with groups of climbs finishing on shared anchors. If you're from out of town it's good to talk to a local that knows the routes so you don't get the harder lines confused. Most of the routes have the name painted at the base.

Approach
Park in front of the Salvamont Hut across the small bridge.
Other several paid parking lots are available. GPS: (46.5602668, 23.6906879)
Walk past the hut taking the trail just behind it. Follow it uphill and at both intersections go right. Eventually you will come to an opening in a scree field. Continue across the scree to the woods after enjoying the view. There's a few more spots for pictures on the way. After another small opening with some rocks on the right, the trail will descend downhill for a second before turning sharply uphill for the last part until you finally reach the cave. Total approach time 20-30 minutes. GPS: (46.5623940, 23.6820760)
