Climbing "Cesta bez madel" (literally "The Handleless Way"), a grade 4 route on Poustevnická stěna (Hermit's Wall), is a memorable experience. While not particularly technically challenging, its charm lies in its historical significance and the exposed nature of the wall. The rock is typically solid sandstone, offering a good amount of friction. The crux often involves finding the right balance and using subtle features to navigate the less obvious sections. Don't expect jug hauls; instead, be prepared to smear and trust your footwork. The climb is a delightful journey through the heart of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, offering stunning views and a genuine sense of accomplishment. Remember to bring proper gear, including a rope, quickdraws, and belay device. Always climb with a partner and check the weather conditions before heading out. "Cesta bez madel" is a rewarding adventure for climbers looking for a classic and moderately challenging route in a beautiful setting.
