Climbing 'Křečík' (grade 6-) at Varhany is a quintessential experience for any sandstone climber. Varhany, part of the majestic sandstone rock towns, offer a unique and often challenging climbing environment. 'Křečík', meaning 'little cramp', lives up to its name, demanding precise footwork and careful handling of the sandstone. Despite its modest 6- grade, it presents a delightful challenge, often involving a mix of technical crack climbing, delicate friction slabs, and the need for solid protection placements. The rock quality can vary, requiring trust in the sandy holds and good technique. Protection is generally traditional, relying on well-placed cams and nuts, which adds to the adventurous character of the route. Reaching the summit offers breathtaking views of the surrounding 'rock city' and a profound sense of accomplishment. It's a classic route for those looking to immerse themselves in the unique beauty and style of Czech sandstone climbing.
