Shirský kůň — 7, Stáj 7

Climbing 'Shirský kůň' (The Shire Horse) in the 'Stáj' (The Stable) climbing area is a quintessential experience for anyone tackling the Czech sandstone routes. Graded 7 on the local Saxon scale (equivalent to UIAA VII or French 6a/6a+), this route lives up to its powerful name. It's a demanding ascent, often characterized by steep, sustained sections requiring precise footwork and a powerful sequence to overcome its crux. The unique character of the sandstone, combined with the often-overhanging or technical terrain of the 'Stáj' sector, makes for a physically and mentally engaging climb. Successfully topping out 'Shirský kůň' offers a profound sense of achievement, solidifying its reputation as a memorable and challenging route within the Czech climbing scene.
