Levý komín, Lipová skála 4

Levý komín (Left Chimney), a classic Grade IV route nestled within the picturesque Lipová skála, embodies the very essence of traditional sandstone chimney climbing. This route offers an incredibly engaging and varied experience, demanding a versatile repertoire of techniques. You'll find yourself employing bridging, stemming, and at times, even full-body jamming to inch your way upwards through the narrow confines. The sandstone, typical of the region, provides reliable friction, though vigilance for occasional loose sections is always prudent. While not overly exposed, the upper sections reward your efforts with charming views of the surrounding forest. It's a highly satisfying challenge, perfect for climbers comfortable with the grade and the unique demands of chimney climbing. Upon reaching the top, the descent is typically a straightforward walk-off path leading around the back of the formation, or a short rappel for efficiency.
