Petrohradské PADání is not only competition is also a bouldering session at Petrohrad.

Every year we develop a completely new location, where plenty of new boulder problems are prepared for competitors. This year more than 200 boulder problems are prepared for visitors from 4 to 8B Fb.

Petrohrad, possibly the largest bouldering area in Central Europe, is situated in west Bohemia roughly 80 km west from Prague and about 50 km north from Plzen. There are over 2000 reported problems and tucked away in the Bohemian forested hills- with potential for more.  They are mainly rounded boulders-blocs made of rough granite and with good friction for feet but rough on your skin. Climbing here is mainly strength demanding but requires good technique too since there are plenty of smooth slabs and arêtes. Majority of grips are edges and slopers. Sometimes also bizarre holes are present. The height of boulder blocks are mainly from 2 to 5 m.
