Climbing 'Bonus' (UIAA 7/7+) on 'Podzimní věž - pravá část' (Autumn Tower - Right Part) is an iconic experience for any climber venturing into the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This route is a true test of technique and nerve, characteristic of the challenging, often exposed climbing found on these unique rock formations. The 7/7+ grade signifies a demanding ascent, requiring precise footwork on the friction-dependent sandstone and confident gear placement in the often-runout sections. Climbers can expect a mix of technical cracks, intricate slab moves, and perhaps an airy traverse that fully justifies its 'Bonus' name – a bonus for those who master it. Reaching the summit of Podzimní věž after such an ascent offers breathtaking panoramic views, making the entire endeavor a deeply rewarding and memorable classic.
