Climbing 'Beduín' (D/E) in Skalní město is a quintessential Bohemian sandstone experience. Located within the stunning Adršpach-Teplice Rocks (Skalní město – 'Rock City'), 'Beduín' offers a fantastic journey for intermediate climbers. The D/E grade signifies a moderately challenging route, characteristic of the Saxon climbing scale used here. The unique style involves friction climbing on often surprisingly grippy, yet sometimes delicate, sandstone. Protection relies heavily on traditional fixed rings ('Ringe'), requiring climbers to carry an ample supply of long slings for clipping. 'Beduín' itself is known for its varied pitches, potentially incorporating slab sections, a challenging traverse, or a captivating chimney, all leading to a rewarding summit with panoramic views over the labyrinthine rock city. More than just a physical challenge, climbing 'Beduín' is an immersion into the wild beauty and rich climbing history of this UNESCO-protected landscape. It demands precise technique, a sense of adventure, and profound respect for the fragile rock and its long-standing climbing ethics.
