Overview

Grade: ?

Climbing 'Prvnička' on 'Rozpůlený hřeben' in the Teplice Rocks, Czech Republic, is a quintessential experience for any sandstone climber. Graded **VI** on the UIAA scale, 'Prvnička' (meaning 'The First One') is often considered one of the classic routes up this distinctive rock formation. The ascent typically involves navigating a mix of cracks, chimneys, and exposed slab sections characteristic of the Bohemian sandstone. Protection relies heavily on the traditional Czech style, utilizing slings on fixed rings (often historical and widely spaced) and the occasional placement of your own nuts or cams. This demands a strong lead head, a good understanding of sandstone protection, and a respect for the unique nature of the rock. The climb is exposed, especially in its upper parts, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding rock city. It's a truly memorable climb, steeped in the rich history of Czech climbing.
