Šedá

Climbing 'Šedá', a classic grade 6 route at Ohniště, is a quintessential Bohemian sandstone experience. The name 'The Grey One' aptly describes some of the rock's character, which, while generally solid, demands respect due to its friability typical of the area. As a grade 6, it presents a satisfying challenge: requiring precise footwork, careful weight distribution, and a good eye for the subtle features – perhaps a delicate crimp here, a positive pocket there. The ascent itself is engaging, a test of technique and mental fortitude rather than brute strength. Reaching the top offers not just a sense of accomplishment but also breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape, characteristic of Ohniště's beautiful setting. It's a truly rewarding climb that embodies the spirit of traditional Czech sandstone climbing.
