Today I finally managed to send "Pravá hrana" (7+) in the "Bush Man" sector! What a route! It's a beautiful line following a clean, slightly overhanging arete. The initial crux is a powerful sequence of crimps and slopers that demands precise footwork and body positioning. After navigating the initial bulge, you're treated to more sustained climbing with interesting moves on good holds, all the way to the anchor. The rock is fantastic, offering just enough friction to keep you engaged. It was a mental battle as much as a physical one, but the satisfaction of clipping the chains after all that effort was immense. Definitely one of the best climbs I've done lately!
