Boží mlýny

Climbing 'Boží mlýny' (God's Mills) on the 'Blážina stěna - levá část' (Blážina Wall - Left Part) is a quintessential Central European limestone experience. Graded 7- (UIAA scale), it offers a compelling challenge for experienced climbers without being overwhelmingly difficult. The Blážina Wall, located near Prague, is renowned for its steep and technical limestone, and 'Boží mlýny' perfectly embodies this character.

The route typically features intricate sequences on pockets, small crimps, and occasional slightly overhanging sections, demanding precision, strength, and excellent footwork. It's a climb that requires sustained effort and thoughtful movement rather than a single, brutish crux. As you ascend, the exposure grows, rewarding you with fantastic views of the surrounding landscape and a profound sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top.

The name 'Boží mlýny' itself evokes the Czech proverb 'Boží mlýny melou pomalu, ale jistě' (God's mills grind slowly, but surely), perhaps hinting at the patience and steady progress required to master this beautiful route.
