The "Šedý traverz" (The Grey Traverse), a captivating route graded 7-, awaits climbers in the renowned Ohniště climbing area. As its name suggests, this line is a prominent horizontal journey across the unique sandstone rock. It's a true test of technical finesse, precise footwork, and unwavering balance, often demanding a calm mind due to its exposure. While not characterized by extreme power moves, the sustained nature of the traverse on the sometimes-slick sandstone provides a continuous, engaging challenge. Protection, as is common in Czech sandstone regions, typically consists of fixed rings. Successfully navigating Šedý traverz offers a profound sense of accomplishment and often breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, making it a memorable experience for any climber.
