Plotna

Climbing 'Plotna' (7-) in 'Hradní stěna' is a memorable experience, demanding a blend of technical footwork, precise balance, and mental fortitude. The route, aptly named 'Plotna' (meaning 'Slab' in Czech), presents a gently angled slab with sparse holds. Success hinges on meticulous weight distribution, trusting tiny edges, and maintaining composure.

The crux often involves a delicate traverse or a sequence of high steps where momentum is key. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing good friction despite the lack of prominent features. 'Hradní stěna', known for its scenic location near the castle, adds to the overall allure of the climb. While 7- might not be the hardest grade, 'Plotna' rewards a thoughtful and controlled approach, making it a satisfying achievement for climbers seeking a technical challenge on a beautiful crag.
