Climbing 'Tatar koutek' (Grade IV) on 'Třívěžatá' is a classic experience, embodying the spirit of traditional mountaineering in this region. The route, literally 'Tatar Corner,' lives up to its name, guiding you through a distinct corner system that offers varied climbing. The rock is generally solid sandstone, providing good friction, though some sections demand careful footwork and a keen eye for holds. Grade IV here means enjoyable, accessible climbing, yet it's far from a mere scramble. There are moments of pleasant exposure that remind you of your elevation, especially as you navigate the more open sections. The ascent is rhythmic, a dance of hands and feet, moving upwards through the corner, sometimes pulling on positive edges, other times stemming between the walls. It's a route that allows you to feel the rock beneath your fingers and truly engage with the environment. Reaching the top of 'Třívěžatá' after completing 'Tatar koutek' is incredibly rewarding. The panoramic views from the summit are breathtaking, offering expansive vistas of the surrounding landscape – a well-earned reward for the effort. It's a perfect route for those looking to step into moderate traditional climbing, offering both challenge and immense satisfaction.
