Climbing 'Buková spára' (Beech Crack), a classic Grade IV route in the picturesque 'Bukovka' climbing area, is a truly enjoyable experience. This route is a testament to the area's charm, offering a perfect introduction to traditional sandstone climbing. The climb itself follows a well-defined crack system. It's mostly a delightful series of hand and fist jams, interspersed with sections where you can use solid footholds or even stem your way up. While graded IV, which is relatively accessible, it still demands good technique, rewarding precise placements and efficient movement. Protection is generally good with opportunities for various nuts and cams, making it a safe and confidence-building lead. Reaching the top of the tower provides splendid views of the surrounding forest and rock formations. The descent is typically a straightforward walk-off, adding to the route's overall convenience. Buková spára is more than just a climb; it's a piece of local climbing history, perfect for a warm-up, a teaching lead, or simply a dose of pure, classic crack climbing fun.
