Stará cesta, Kazatelna 2+

First ascents only after prior approval of the rock manager, e-mail: spravce-labak-levy@seznam.cz. The valid conditions for approving first ascents are here.

• Top-rope only where it will not damage the rock or fixed gear (own quickdraw as anchor, no rope friction on the rock).
• First ascents only with the area administrator's approval (left bank: spravce-labak-levy@seznam.cz).
• Unapproved fixed equipment is banned.

The ČHS rules for climbing in Bohemian sandstone areas apply.

• Chalk is banned.
• No metal protection (cams, nuts, pitons) – only slings, knots and textile "UFOs" between the rings.
• Climb on dry rock only – wet sandstone softens and breaks.
• Do not alter the rock surface.
• Abseil from the summit rings.

Parts of the area lie in Bohemian Switzerland National Park and the Elbe Sandstones Protected Landscape Area, where seasonal closures for nesting birds apply. Check the ČHS crag database before you go.
