Lepík, Okap 7/7+

Climbing 'Lepík' (grade 7/7+) in 'Okap' is a quintessential experience for anyone venturing into the higher grades of Czech sandstone. True to its name, 'Okap' (meaning 'overhang' or 'eaves') promises a steep and demanding climb. 'Lepík' itself is a beautifully sustained route, starting with intricate technical moves that lead into a progressively more powerful and pumpy sequence through the main overhang. The crux often demands a combination of precise footwork, strong finger-strength, and perhaps a touch of dynamic movement to navigate the critical section. It's a route that tests both endurance and technique, rewarding climbers with an exhilarating sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top. 'Lepík' is rightly considered a classic in its grade, offering a memorable challenge in a truly iconic setting.
