Overview

Grade: 8/8+

Climbing 'Přešlapávání' (8/8+) in 'Pod okapem' is an experience that lingers long after your forearms recover. True to its name, which roughly translates to 'Hesitation' or 'Shuffling,' this route demands absolute precision and a delicate dance on the rock. Situated beneath a prominent, often damp, overhang – the 'eaves' – it presents a unique blend of technical subtlety leading into powerful, bouldery sequences.

The lower section often involves intricate footwork on small holds, testing your balance and body tension. But the real challenge lies higher up, where the angle kicks back dramatically. Here, you're faced with a series of crimps and slopers, demanding peak finger strength and explosive core power. The crux, often a dynamic move to a distant, positive hold or a tricky clip in an awkward position, is where many attempts falter.

Every meter on 'Přešlapávání' feels earned. The fight against the pump is relentless, and the mental game of committing to uncertain moves is as crucial as the physical strength. Reaching the anchor, utterly spent but immensely satisfied, is a profound reward. It's a classic for a reason – a genuine test piece that pushes both your physical limits and your mental resolve, making it a truly memorable ascent in the 'Pod okapem' area.
