Levá hrana vaničky

Climbing 'Levá hrana vaničky' (Left Edge of the Bathtub), a delightful 4+ route in the 'Kid' sector of the Teplice Rocks, is a quintessential Czech sandstone experience. The Teplice Rocks, part of the broader Adršpach-Teplice Rocks complex, are renowned for their unique sandstone towers and traditional climbing style, often relying on natural protection like knotted slings.

'Levá hrana vaničky' itself offers a beautifully exposed ascent along a distinct edge or arête. While graded 4+, which might sound moderate, the nature of sandstone climbing demands precision, balance, and a good head for heights. The holds are often subtle, relying on friction and delicate placements, characteristic of the 'Kid' area, which is known for its slightly less intimidating yet equally picturesque towers. It's a classic introductory route into the world of Czech sandstone, providing a taste of adventure, stunning views, and a deep appreciation for the unique rock texture and the traditional ethic of the region.
