Dlouhá kost

Climbing 'Dlouhá kost' (Long Bone) in Dolní hřeben is a classic and enjoyable route for climbers looking for a solid Grade 4+ experience. Dolní hřeben, meaning 'Lower Ridge', offers a variety of climbing routes on sandstone towers, and 'Dlouhá kost' is a well-known and often-climbed example. The route typically involves a mix of face climbing, crack climbing, and some traversing, all demanding good footwork and a confident approach. The sandstone is generally solid but can sometimes be polished in places, so careful assessment of holds is always recommended. Protection is usually good, with well-placed bolts or opportunities for placing your own gear. The exposure on the route adds to the thrill, particularly as you ascend the characteristic 'Long Bone' feature. A successful ascent rewards you with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and a satisfying sense of accomplishment. Remember to check the weather conditions before you go, and be prepared for the possibility of encountering other climbers, especially during peak season.
