Juraj Koreň and Radoslav Groh: first ascent of Grossglockner
On March 7, Slovak-Czech climbers Juraj Koreň and Radoslav Groh made the first ascent of the south face of Austria's highest mountain, Grossglockner (3,798 m). The new route was named Kaiser Direkt, measures approximately 500 meters, and is rated M7 in difficulty by its creators.
Czech top boulderer Jana Švecová has posted a video report from the recent 10Boy Campus competition with Adam Ondra at the Hangar bouldering gym in Ostrava on her YouTube channel. The 10Boy competition is essentially a decathlon on a campus board. Pure strength, coordination, and finger strength, as Jana explains.
Pavel Skalický and Tereza Rudolfová won the 2026 Czech Ski Mountaineering Championships in Špindlerův Mlýn on Saturday. The results were published by the Czech Mountaineering Union (ČHS).
Dangerous rings confirmed, cracking after struck with a hammer
Inspections of safety equipment on some routes by author Karel Bělina in the Ostrov sandstone area confirmed fears of dangerous bolts. This was reported by the Czech Mountaineering Association (ČHS) on Facebook. According to rock administrators, during testing, the head of some bolts separated from the shaft after just one blow with a hammer.
Adam Ondra flashed his third 8C boulder: Celestite
Adam Ondra flashed his third 8C boulder, Celestite in Val Bavona, Switzerland. Adam commented on Facebook: "Celestite never seemed like the right candidate for a flash attempt. When I watch the video of the absolute master and magician Dave Graham, who was the first to climb this incredible boulder, it doesn't look like something that could be climbed on flash at all..."
In the final of the World Cup ice climbing competition in Edmonton, Canada, our Oliver Hamerský finished in 5th place yesterday, while Aneta Loužecká came in 6th.
The Czech Climbing Association against the return of Russians
The Czech Mountaineering Association (ČHS) acknowledges the decision of the World Climbing Federation to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to return to international competitions under neutral status, but disagrees with this move. The association stated this in a statement in response to the decision of the World Climbing Executive Committee.
Video: Adam Ondra and a bouldering party as old-school PC game

The Czech Mountaineering Association’s leadership released an invitation this week to its General Assembly, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Prague’s Strahov district. In addition to the usual agenda items (financial report for the past year, budget for 2026, etc.), the agenda will also include a supplementary election to the Executive Committee and an amendment to the Disciplinary Rules.
The reason for the special election is the resignation of Štefan Kecskes, a current member of the Executive Committee who was co-opted to the position on December 18, 2025. He wishes to run in a full-scale election.
According to the proposal, the amendment to the ČHS Disciplinary Rules is necessary due to the ČHS Code of Ethics, which the ČHS Executive Committee plans to draft and implement during 2026. By creating and approving the Code of Ethics, the ČHS is responding to the National Code of Ethics in Sport, issued by the National Sports Agency, which, in addition to the adoption of a federation code and the introduction of the role of a safeguard, also calls for amendments to the disciplinary rules to enable the investigation and resolution of negative phenomena in sport as serious disciplinary offenses, including not only violations of fair play rules but also violations of the principles of equal treatment, psychological and physical violence, particularly concerning young athletes, etc.
The 2026 budget anticipates total revenues of approximately CZK 46 million and costs of approximately CZK 49 million and does not include the budget for the 2026 Sport Climbing World Cup in Prague, which has its own budget and whose overall impact on the financial results should be zero, or it should generate a contribution to cover part of the ČHS’s overhead costs.
The 2026 World Cup event in Prague, which will take place in June and feature an expanded format—including bouldering and, for the first time, lead climbing—has a base budget of approximately CZK 33.5 million. A significant source of funding will be a grant from the NSA to support Major Sporting Events, according to the materials for the general meeting.
