Climbing "Kroutič" (graded 8-/8) in "Strážní věž" was a true battle. The route is short but intensely powerful, demanding precise footwork and explosive movements. The crux felt like pulling through on near-horizontal holds, requiring maximum effort. The exposure added to the mental challenge, making the send all the more rewarding. A classic test piece for anyone pushing into the higher grades at this crag.
