Kozí vrch (Goat Hill) is a classic climb often found in the iconic sandstone regions of the Czech Republic, like Adršpach or Prachovské skály. Graded 'C' in many local systems, it represents a moderately challenging ascent, accessible to climbers with some experience but still offering a satisfying technical workout. The route typically involves navigating a series of diverse sandstone features – perhaps a challenging crack, some friction slabs, and exposed traverses. The rock, often coarse and grippy, demands good footwork and precise hand placements. Reaching the summit of Kozí vrch rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding rock cities and forests. The top itself is often small and airy, providing a true sense of exposure and achievement. The descent is usually a straightforward rappel, bringing you back to the forest floor, leaving you with memories of a quintessential Czech sandstone adventure.
