This summer has been very successful for Rosťa.

Rosťa Štefánek recently sent the ultra hard route Baracuda, 11-/11 at Kaitersberg Germany.

The route crosses a rather large roof. This roof supports two routes, each following a thin seam.  The right one is the well known Head & Shoulders 10-/10 and second one is  Barracuda 11-/11

Rosťa Štefánek, one of the Czech's finest climbers, did the fourth ascent of this impressive roof at Kaitersberg.

After several tries (he tried this route for the first time in Autumn last year)
