Griba is a massif situated in the Upper Kurvelesh region, within the boundaries of Tepelenë municipality, in southern Albania. Its highest peak, Maja e Këndrevicës, reaches a height of 2,122 m (6,962 ft).
Other high peaks include Maja e Tartarit 1,971 m (6,467 ft), Maja e Kulthit 1,907 m (6,257 ft), Maja e Sorrës 1,857 m (6,093 ft), Maja e Lopsit 1,837 m (6,027 ft), etc.[1]
The massif features a cone-shaped body with steep inclines and a flat peak and is composed primarily of Mesozoic and Paleogenelimestones, with lesser amounts of flysch, giving it an asymmetrical anticlinal structure. Its ridge is marked by numerous karst pits and evidence of quaternary glaciations can be seen with the presence of cirques and moraines.[2]
