Heil der Eiche

Climbing 'Heil der Eiche' (grade 7-) in the Right Prosset Face is a quintessential sandstone experience. This classic route, whose name translates to 'Hail to the Oak', offers a delightful challenge without being overly demanding. Graded 7- (UIAA), it presents a mix of technical moves on good friction, interspersed with sections that require careful handling of the brittle sandstone. The exposure increases as you ascend, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, typical of the Bohemian Paradise region. Each move feels deliberate, a dance with the rock, culminating in a satisfying summit. It's a classic for a reason – enjoyable, scenic, and truly representative of Prosset's unique climbing character.
