Climbing on sandstone Tisá, Ostrov, Snežník, Elbe Valley
Sandstone climbing, an adventurous and unique discipline unparalleled in the world, is sometimes compared to alpine climbing. Most of the climbing is done on freestanding towers in beautiful and still wild nature, which is sometimes challenging to navigate, and the second climber is always belayed to the top.
The rich history of the first climbed towers dates back to the 19th century and the common goal of all the first ascentionists has always been to create bold routes with a minimum of fixed belaying (iron rings) and to use for belaying as much as possible textile slings that the climber himself establishes. Thanks to this, the atmosphere of adventure and the unknown has been preserved for more than a hundred years.
