Climbing 'Za uchem' (Grade 4) in 'Myš' was a truly delightful experience. This classic route, known for its accessible grade, offers a perfect introduction to the unique sandstone climbing of the region. The ascent, while not technically demanding, requires careful foot placement and a good understanding of traditional protection, even if it's mostly straightforward. The name 'Behind the Ear' suggests something cozy or perhaps a bit hidden, but the route itself is well-trodden and popular. Reaching the summit of 'Myš' after navigating 'Za uchem' provides wonderful panoramic views, making it a rewarding climb for climbers of all levels, or a pleasant warm-up for more challenging endeavors. It perfectly encapsulates the charm of Czech sandstone climbing: a blend of moderate challenge, beautiful scenery, and a classic, timeless feel.
