Mistrovská hrana

Climbing 'Mistrovská hrana' (Master's Edge) at U vodojemu is an iconic Czech climbing experience. Nestled within the U vodojemu sandstone quarry, a popular local climbing spot in the heart of the Czech Republic, this route stands out. Graded 7/7+ on the UIAA scale (roughly equivalent to 5.12a/b), it's considered a true test piece and a classic for many climbers seeking to push their limits.

The name 'Master's Edge' is incredibly apt; the route meticulously follows a prominent, sharp arête, demanding absolute precision, cool composure, and excellent balance. The characteristic Czech sandstone offers a diverse array of holds, from positive edges to more elusive slopers and friction-dependent features. The climbing is technical, sustained, and often requires delicate footwork combined with powerful finger strength. The crux typically involves committing and exposed moves around the arête, which can feel exhilarating yet require significant mental fortitude.

Successfully sending Mistrovská hrana is immensely satisfying. It's more than just a climb; it's a benchmark that perfectly embodies the unique, elegant, and often bold style of Czech sandstone climbing, offering a truly rewarding achievement.
