Climbing "Ze strany" (grade 3) at Lipová skála is a delightful introduction to sandstone climbing. As a grade 3 route on the UIAA scale (common in Central Europe), it's very accessible and perfectly suited for beginners, children, or anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable ascent. The name "Ze strany" (meaning "From the Side") often implies a less direct, perhaps traversing, or simply an easier-angled approach to the rock. The climb typically offers abundant, large handholds and footholds, characteristic of the local sandstone, allowing for a confident and unhurried ascent. It's an excellent choice for a warm-up, a family outing, or simply to soak in the beauty of Lipová skála's scenic surroundings without significant technical challenge. It embodies the essence of gentle, pleasurable climbing in the Czech Republic's picturesque rock areas.
