Climbing 'Pokání' (Grade VI UIAA, equivalent to approximately 5.8-5.9 YDS or French 5b/c) in 'Ráj' is a true classic of the Bohemian sandstone climbing scene. This iconic route, often considered a must-do for climbers tackling the grade, offers a fantastic blend of exposed climbing and thoughtful moves. The ascent typically involves negotiating a mix of chimneys, cracks, and face sections, demanding good technique and a calm head, especially given the traditional protection style of sandstone. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing reliable friction, and despite its moderate grade, it feels adventurous. Reaching the top rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Bohemian Paradise landscape, making 'Pokání' a truly memorable experience.
