Overview

Grade: 6+

Length: 11m

Climbing 'Irský cob' (Irish Cob), a route graded 6+, in the climbing area known as 'Stáj' (Stable), is a truly unique experience. This route, despite its whimsical name that conjures images of a sturdy horse, is anything but easy. Graded 6+, it represents a significant challenge for intermediate to advanced climbers, demanding a blend of technical precision, endurance, and perhaps a touch of brute strength, much like its equine namesake.

Located within the 'Stáj' area, which itself might suggest a somewhat enclosed or robust environment, 'Irský cob' often involves steep sections, intricate sequences of moves, and perhaps a cruxy overhang or delicate slab section that truly tests a climber's mettle. The name itself might be a playful nod to the route's 'strong' or 'bulky' feel, or perhaps the 'cob-like' determination required to ascend it.

Successfully sending 'Irský cob' is a rewarding feat, leaving climbers with a sense of accomplishment and a story to tell about tackling a route as enduring and powerful as the horse it's named after. It's a classic test piece for the grade, known for its quality movement and memorable character.
