Overview

Grade: ?

Climbing 'Zelení mozci' (Green Brains) in 'Rozpůlený hřeben' (Split Ridge) is an unforgettable experience for any seasoned climber. Graded around 7b+ (French) or IX- (UIAA), this multi-pitch masterpiece truly lives up to its name, demanding not just physical prowess but also clever problem-solving. The route ascends the imposing face of the Split Ridge, offering incredible exposure and breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys. The rock is generally compact, with excellent friction, but the 'Green Brains' section – often the crux – involves a series of intricate, technical moves on small holds and crimps, requiring precise footwork and mental composure. It's a true test of finger strength and balance. Each pitch offers unique challenges, from delicate slabs to powerful overhangs, culminating in a summit that feels truly earned. The exposure on the ridge is constant, adding an alpine feel to the sport climbing-like difficulty. This isn't just a climb; it's an adventurous journey that leaves you exhilarated and immensely satisfied.
