Climbing "Žebro veteránů" (Veterans' Rib), a grade 6 route nestled in the distinctive sandstone labyrinth of Komínky - Andrejšky, stands as a true test piece and an unforgettable experience. This iconic route embodies the essence of Czech sandstone climbing: demanding technique, a reliance on traditional protection (primarily knots, slings, and cams, rather than fixed bolts), and exhilarating exposure. The climb offers intricate moves on unique friction-rich rock, often leading through chimneys, cracks, or slabs characteristic of the region. Reaching the summit provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Elbe Sandstone landscape. It's a challenging ascent that rewards climbers with a deep sense of accomplishment and an authentic taste of adventure in one of Central Europe's most unique climbing areas. A classic for a reason, it requires good preparation and a strong mindset.
