Žlab

Climbing 'Žlab' (Gully) in the Půlnočník massif offers a classic mountaineering experience at a moderate grade of 4+. This route, as its name suggests, typically follows a prominent gully feature on the rock face. Expect sustained climbing with generally good holds, but also be prepared for potential loose rock, especially within the gully itself. The 4+ grade implies sections that require careful footwork, good balance, and the ability to utilize stemming techniques. Protection is usually adequate, but placing your own gear might be necessary in some areas to ensure safety. 'Žlab' in Půlnočník is a rewarding climb that combines exposure, natural features, and accessible difficulty, making it a popular choice for climbers looking to step up from easier routes and enjoy the wild beauty of the area. The views from the top are often stunning, offering a panoramic perspective of the surrounding landscape. Remember to check current conditions and weather forecasts before attempting the climb, as weather can significantly impact the safety and enjoyment of the experience.
