Climbing "Hrana" (graded 6-) in the Ementál climbing area is a rewarding experience. The route typically follows a prominent edge (hence "Hrana" meaning "edge" in Czech/Slovak) and offers a good mix of technical face climbing and powerful moves. Expect some sustained sequences on slightly overhanging or vertical terrain. The rock is generally solid, but always check holds, especially after periods of inactivity. Proper footwork is crucial, as the route demands precision and efficiency. A good onsight requires a solid understanding of 6- climbing technique and the ability to read the rock well. It's a popular route, so be prepared to potentially wait or find other climbers on it. Bring enough quickdraws and a rope long enough for the wall height. Overall, "Hrana" in Ementál is a classic and enjoyable climb at its grade.
