Radek Votocek and the stunning Rock Erotic

EDITORIAL

25 March 2023

Radek Votocek did five 8c+ graded routes last year and Rock Erotic (8c+) in Geyik bayiri was his hardest, as it's officially (8c+/9a).

Lukáš Černý has put together the video and says, "I had the pleasure to film with Radek during my Christmas trip, and I was able to record some more of his new entries in his climbing diary. In the video, you can even look at his most difficult journey. In addition, you will find out when he began to train systematically, what the other climbers initially thought of him, or how he feels about climbing on sandstone."
