Cukrová cesta

Climbing "Cukrová cesta" (grade 5) in Poustevnická stěna is a classic and enjoyable experience for climbers in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The name, meaning "Sugar Path," might hint at sweet holds, but the reality is a fairly typical sandstone climb requiring careful footwork and mindful placement. The rock is generally solid, but some sections can be a bit polished from years of ascents.

The route itself usually starts with a short, slightly overhanging section before transitioning into a more vertical and slabby face. The crux is often finding the right sequence of holds and movements, as the holds aren't always immediately obvious. Good route finding skills are a plus. There are typically well-placed bolts for protection, making it a relatively safe climb for those comfortable with the grade. The views from the top of Poustevnická stěna are rewarding, offering a panorama of the surrounding forest and sandstone formations. Overall, "Cukrová cesta" is a great introduction to climbing in the area and a fun challenge for climbers of intermediate ability.
