Climbing 'Trpaslík,' a quintessential grade 6 route nestled in the picturesque 'Zahrádka' climbing area, was an experience to remember. As is often the case with Czech sandstone, the '6' felt more like a demanding '6+' at times – technical, balancy, and requiring precise footwork on the often-slick rock. The route beautifully navigates a series of intricate sections, offering both delightful friction holds and moments of delicate commitment. Despite its moderate grade, 'Trpaslík' demands respect and attention, a true testament to the unique style of climbing found here. Topping out provided a fantastic sense of achievement and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making every challenging move worthwhile. It's a must-do classic for anyone visiting Zahrádka.
