Turning Dark Cave into Real Gem!

Some places don't look amazing at first glance. They might be hidden in the woods, they might be dirty, full of cobwebs, and they might require a lot of cleaning. Derava skala (The Leaky Rock) is a small dark cave that has been neglected for many years despite the first free climbing routes being developed in the 80s. I did not like it myself the first time I saw it 20 years ago. With a new perspective and much more experience, I could see much better that this cave is a real gem , and the best lines were still waiting for the first ascents!

Take a look at the new video featuring the first ascent of Hogo Fogo 9a!
