Climbing "Hřbetní ploutev" (Dorsal Fin) in the "Kosatka" (Orca) sector is a rewarding experience, though demanding. The route, graded 6- (UIAA scale, equivalent to around 5.10a/b in Yosemite Decimal System), presents a series of interesting moves on relatively good rock, but requires careful footwork and confident handholds.

The exposure adds to the excitement, as the "Kosatka" sector often offers stunning views. Overall, it's a classic climb that tests both physical and mental endurance, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment after reaching the top.
