For many years, climbing federations have organized international meetings. This year the Ceský horolezecký svaz (Czech Mountaineering Federation) invited a group of international climbers to share the climbing experience on their beautiful crags and towers. Trad sandstone climbing is a very specific kind of rock climbing and in the area of Adršpach-Teplice you can find more than 3,000 routes leading to the tops of amazing sandstone spires.
The area is best known for its daring cracks and friction routes; protection is difficult to place on most routes, and what can be placed is done mostly by squeezing rope knots of various sizes into the crags. Routes not only have long run outs, but also very long distances between bolts. As international guests we were accompanied by our Czech host climbers. After climbing, we enjoyed beer and hearty meals and then listened to interesting presentations by some of the Czech Republic’s best climbers.
This world-class climbing area is a must visit spot for adventurers and is worthy of a visit by anyone who loves the beauty of nature!
Wow – I would love to climb here
prachtige routes
geen goesting om er een verhaaltje over te schrijven voor de klefferaar Stijn ?
Hey Walter,
er komt binnenkort al een artikel in het KBF magazine!
Groetjes,
Stijn.
Amazing series of shots Stijn!
hi Stijn,
Great shots!
Are you running climbing courses around Adrspach these days?
I’m just thinking that a course could maybe save me a lot of time on my first visit to the area – find the most suitable classic routes easily etc
cheers
David
Hey David,
I don’t run courses unfortunately.
Try to hook up with a local of maybe ask the climbing federation?
Good luck and enjoy the climbs!
Greetings,
Stijn.
