Adršpach (Czechia 🇨🇿) is a climbing paradise. It is composed of hundreds of sandstone towers, that don't often offer many holds, and most often, the only way up is via systems of cracks and chimneys. It is very traditionalistic with some very strong ethics, where chalk and metal camming devices are not allowed. It is a big adventure to climb these towers, and I could not resist inviting @Pete_Whittaker from @WideBoyz to climb with me and @WilliamBosi some of the most crack classics in this magic area.

Let me know in the comments which of the routes you liked the most and what you think about trad climbing pioneers Kokša and Špek? Would you also climb with a rope around your chest back in 1964?
