Overview

Grade: ?

Climbing 'Projekt' on Rozpůlený hřeben (Split Ridge) in the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks is synonymous with extreme difficulty and a piece of modern climbing history. This isn't just any project; it's *the* legendary open project that for many years stood as one of the world's most challenging unclimbed lines. Located on the majestic sandstone formation of Rozpůlený hřeben, this route ascends a steep, intricate, and often overhanging face, characteristic of Adršpach's unique sandstone climbing.

**Grade:** While it was a project, its estimated difficulty was consistently in the realm of **9a/9a+ (French scale)** or even harder, pushing into **XIc / XIIa (Czech/UIAA scale)**. This placed it among the hardest potential routes globally. It was eventually freed by Adam Ondra in 2013 and named 'Pohár' (The Cup), confirming its extreme grade and cementing its status as an iconic testpiece.
