Overview

Grade: 7+

Length: 15m

Climbing 'Pochybnosti' (which translates to 'Doubts') on Vysoká is a truly memorable experience. This route, graded 7+, demands a blend of technical prowess, powerful moves, and mental fortitude. The climb itself is typically characterized by steep, slightly overhanging rock with demanding crimps and pockets. Finding the right body positioning is crucial, and precise footwork is essential to conserve energy. The crux often involves a sequence of delicate placements followed by a dynamic reach to a hold that might seem just out of reach.

The rock on Vysoká is generally excellent, offering good friction and a sense of security despite the challenging nature of the climbing. The views from the route are spectacular, providing a constant reminder of the surrounding High Tatras landscape. Successfully navigating 'Pochybnosti' is a test of not just physical strength but also the ability to overcome the 'doubts' that the name suggests. It's a climb that rewards commitment, precision, and a healthy dose of confidence. The feeling of topping out after battling this demanding route is immensely satisfying, leaving you with a profound sense of accomplishment and a deep appreciation for the beauty and challenge of the Tatra mountains.
