Climbing "Na zádech velryby" (7/7+) in the Kosatka sector is a truly memorable experience. The name translates to "On the Whale's Back", and the climb certainly evokes that feeling. The route itself is characterized by powerful moves on steep, often slightly overhanging rock. The crux typically involves a sequence of precise handholds and dynamic footwork, requiring both strength and technique. The rock is generally solid, but attention to foot placement is crucial. Finding good rests can be challenging, adding to the sustained nature of the climb. Reaching the top feels like a real achievement, rewarded by the satisfaction of having conquered a demanding and beautiful line.
