Direkt Fotogenické

Climbing 'Direkt Fotogenické' (grade 7) at Čertův stolek was a truly rewarding experience. The route lives up to its name, 'Direct Photogenic,' offering stunning views and a visually appealing line up the rock face. The rock quality is generally excellent, though finding the right holds and committing to the crux moves requires careful reading of the rock and confident execution.

The climb starts with relatively easy terrain, lulling you into a false sense of security. This quickly gives way to a steeper section characterized by powerful crimps and precise footwork. The crux is undoubtedly the section that demands a dynamic reach or a well-executed high-step, followed by delicate balancing on sloping holds. A successful ascent requires a blend of strength, technique, and mental fortitude.

'Direkt Fotogenické' offers a fantastic challenge for climbers looking to push their limits in a beautiful and iconic climbing area. The sense of accomplishment at the top, coupled with the breathtaking views, makes it a climb I highly recommend to any climber capable of tackling this grade. Remember to bring your camera – the views truly are photogenic!
