Climbing 'Rypouš sloní' (Elephant Seal), graded 8- in the 'Bažina' (Swamp) area, represents a significant challenge for any serious climber. The Bažina region is known for its unique, often humid atmosphere and distinctive rock formations, which contribute to the route's specific character. 'Rypouš sloní' itself is a testament to technical precision and sustained power, frequently involving intricate sequences on small crimps, delicate balance moves, and demanding cruxy sections, possibly including an overhanging crux. The evocative name 'Elephant Seal' might hint at its powerful nature or a particular feature on the rock. Conquering this 8- is a rewarding accomplishment, pushing climbers to their limits and offering an unforgettable experience on one of Bažina's most iconic lines.
Rules

The ČHS rules for Czech rock areas and the local regional commission's rules apply: do not alter the rock or holds, do not climb on wet rock, and follow ČHS principles for first ascents.
