This photo was taken during my climbing trip to Adrspach in northern Czech Republic in 2004. This is a photo of a rock called Milenci - Lovers. The Adrspach area is all sandstone and there are plenty of parallel cracks and chimneys. Climbing is very traditional with long run outs between anchors. Routes are equipped by sandstone rings and it is necessary to use slings. Usage of metal equipment (chocks, friends) and chalk is not allowed. It is very romantic environment. There are over 1000 routes in various difficulties: 2 to 11b local sandstone scale (to 10 UIAA). Good relatively firm sandstone, height to 70 meters. Towers are accessible from various sides, often in tree shadow so it is a good area for summer climbing.
