Dolní traverz

Climbing 'Dolní traverz' on the Hradní stěna (Castle Wall) is an iconic experience for any climber visiting the Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) area. Graded around V UIAA, this route isn't about vertical ascent but mastering a sustained, exposed horizontal journey across the sandstone face.

The traverse offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, adding to the sense of exposure. It demands precise footwork, good balance, and a steady head, as the holds can be subtle and the consequences visible. Protection placements often require a good eye for natural features and a calm approach.

It's a true test of traditional climbing technique and mental fortitude, leaving climbers with a profound sense of accomplishment and memorable views of the Bohemian Paradise.
