Tom Randall Instagram – Big thanks to @mytendon for hosting me on a trip to Adršpach, Czech Republic, which is home to these absolutely incredible sandstone towers that generally seem a bit sketchy as you have to climb them with knots, slings and ring bolts a million miles apart 😅
In reality though, it’s one of those things that is genuinely really good fun IF you set the level somewhere around 2-3 grades above your solo level. The gear takes quite a bit of time place, you don’t use chalk and there’s a few snappy holds here and there that keep you on your toes. I guess you could try stuff close to your limit, but for most it’ll just end up being a bit epic and not fun? I’ve been here a few times now and each visit gets a bit better at finding the sweet spot. Also, the tower tops are worth every bit of effort and you want to be able to enjoy them…
Another thing for the crackheads… I’d say this is one of the best offwidth destinations I’ve been to world wide?? There’s actually loads of entry level pitches and a number are on the slabby side so it feels a bit less like imminent death 😂.
I weirdly missed @petewhittaker01 by a week on this trip so we never climbed together… but…. there is still some stuff coming out on the @wide_boyz YouTube channel soon!!
