This is an example itinerary, which we will follow if the weather permits. Please note that we reserve the right to change the itinerary if necessary. 

Arrive in Prague and check in to your accommodation - a 3 star hotel in the centre of the city so you can easily visit the old town in the evening. Prague is a relatively small city and a lot of places are easily accessible on foot, or by a short ride on an electric tram. 

A tourist guide will pick you up from your hotel to show you the best parts of this fascinating city: the royal gardens, Prague Castle, the hidden streets of Mala Strana. The half day tour will end with lunch in one of the local restaurants (this is when having the local guide really pays off ;)). Your mountain guide will come to meet you in your hotel in the early afternoon and drive you to the selected climbing area, for example Adrspach. 

Today you will discover the climbing area and take part in the climbing techniques workshop. Your guide will get to know you as a climber and the group will be organised into teams. 

Rock climbing on the Czech sandstone is unique mainly due to the long and rich climbing tradition. We will teach you the modern rock climbing techniques as well as the old classic skills, which have been used to reach summits of the towers. This is fun day of climbing the towers and exploring the hidden gems of this amazing climbing area. Due to the low guiding ratio (two climbers per guide) we have the flexibility to adapt the program according to individual climbing level and goals. 

Your guides will select some of the most classic climbs in the area, suitable for your level. We will encourage you to push your limits and challenge yourself without going too far out of your comfort zone. After the 3 days of exploring this fantastic area we will drive to Labak, ready to discover some new places.

Today starts with learning unique Czech climbing techniques at the knots and slings workshop. The rest of the day will be spent climbing in Labak and putting your new skills to the test!

We have a whole day to experience the towering sandstone crags of Labak; looming high above the River Elbe on the German border and surrounded by stunning scenery.

A final morning of rock climbing before we return to Prague and drop you off at the airport in the afternoon. If you wish to stay for longer, please let us know and we can help you organise accommodation and further activities.

This trip is purely about discovering the area and climbing some of the most amazing routes. Your guides will be lead climbing to allow you to safely reach summits of the most iconic towers. We will, however, run a couple of workshops: 

1) Specific climbing techniques: climbing here is very different to anywhere else. We will start this trip with a workshop introducing you to the different climbing techniques typical for this region before we go climbing the multi-pitch towers. Slabs, cracks and corners; you will gain confidence in your moves on single pitch climbs.

2) Knots and slings: identify which knots to use and where, correctly slinging different rock features for protection. You will re-discover the use of slings on the rock during the course. It is amazing what you can do with few slings!

This trip is for advanced climbers. You should be comfortable following at least 6a French grade. It will be very helpful to have experience in crack climbing. You have to know how to belay your lead climber and how to abseil safely. We will do a refresher day at the start of this trip to ensure that everyone is up to scratch.

The nearest airport is Prague. If you are unable to fly into Prague, Dresden in Germany is worth considering as it is well connected to Prague by train. Please book your return flights to depart in the evening to allow for unexpected circumstances such as dense traffic. 

Travelling from Prague airport to your hotel is easy either by taxi or by public transport, which is cheap, easy to navigate and frequent. 

You can pay pretty much everywhere with a bank card. However, it is practical to have some cash in local currency (Czech Krowns). You can exchange or withdraw cash in Prague; there may not be cash points in the smaller villages.

Breakfast is included with your accommodation. Lunch and dinner can be bought in local restaurants and cafes. Dietary requirements such as gluten-free or vegan can be catered for but will be limited, especially in the smaller villages.

We are happy to organise accommodation and suggest places to visit if you wish to stay in the region for longer. Just email us and we will give you all the information. 

Due to the nature of the local sandstone rocks and the restrictions during the rainy period, we will offer alternative activities in case of bad weather: 

• Rock climbing in the Suche Skaly massif and Panteon - the rock there is more solid and less fragile when wet, making rock climbing possible in rainy weather. If the weather is persistently wet, we can combine rock climbing with the following outdoor activities:
• Hiking
• Mountain biking (cost of the mountain bike hire not includedin the package)

Thank you for being open minded when signing up for this trip - we will do our best to make your holiday a great experience!
