Climbing 'Cukříček' (grade 7- UIAA) in Homole is a quintessential experience for anyone visiting the Czech sandstone climbing areas. Nestled within the dramatic landscapes of Homole, this route on a distinct sandstone tower offers a truly memorable ascent. The grade 7- denotes a challenging but accessible climb, often characterized by intricate technical sequences, delicate balance moves, and powerful sections that test both strength and finesse. As with many routes in the Czech Republic, protection often relies on traditional methods – sometimes sparser, using natural features or the characteristic knotted slings, demanding a strong mental game alongside physical prowess. Reaching the summit of 'Cukříček' rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding rock cities, a true sense of accomplishment, and a deep appreciation for the unique character of Bohemian sandstone climbing. It's a classic that perfectly encapsulates the adventurous spirit of the region.
