Dvoupatrák — 6, Rákosníček 6

Climbing 'Dvoupatrák' (The Two-Story House) in 'Rákosníček' is a unique and rewarding experience. This grade 6 route (UIAA scale) perfectly embodies the spirit of Czech sandstone climbing, offering a blend of technical challenges and exposure. As its name suggests, Dvoupatrák stands like a prominent, two-tiered tower or pillar, presenting two distinct sections. The first part is typically steep but well-featured with good holds, while the second demands precise technique, balance, and often a good deal of mental fortitude to navigate its more delicate friction slabs or smaller holds. Protection, typical for sandstone, relies on strategically placed fixed rings, with exhilarating sections demanding confident, bold moves between them. The panoramic views from the summit are a well-deserved reward for the effort, providing a memorable conclusion to this classic ascent in a location whose whimsical name only adds to its charm.
