Climbing 'O mokré Kačence' (The Wet Duckling), graded 6- on the UIAA scale, is a classic and highly enjoyable route located in the enchanting 'Království pohádek' (Kingdom of Fairytales) climbing area in the Czech Republic. This isn't just any climb; it's an experience set amidst the magical sandstone towers characteristic of the region. The route itself, despite its moderate grade, offers an engaging challenge, often combining delicate slab work with more powerful moves on unique sandstone features. As with many Czech sandstone climbs, expect the protection to be traditional – relying primarily on knots (Prusiks) and occasional ring bolts – requiring a confident lead and good route-finding skills. The serene atmosphere in Království pohádek, with its towering formations and peaceful forest surroundings, makes 'O mokré Kačence' a truly memorable ascent, perfect for those looking for a rewarding climb that combines technical skill with natural beauty.
