Ascending 'Čudlík' (4+) in Homole is more than just a climb; it's a quintessential Bohemian Paradise experience. This delightful 4+ route offers a classic taste of the region's unique sandstone towers. The climb itself is enjoyable, demanding precise footwork and a confident grip on the often surprisingly positive yet sometimes crumbly rock. Protection, as is typical in these parts, relies on traditional fixed rings, requiring a thoughtful approach and careful knot placements – a true testament to the old-school climbing ethics. Reaching the summit of the tower is always rewarding, offering a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding forests and intricate rock formations, a moment of serene accomplishment. The descent, usually a swift rappel, brings you back to the forest floor, leaving you with the satisfying feeling of a well-climbed line and the anticipation of the next sandstone adventure.
