Sloup

Bouldering in Sloup

Tucked away in the Moravian Karst near Brno, Sloup is a true gem of Czech bouldering. Its defining feature is the ancient limestone formations—shaped over millennia—that offer steep overhangs and razor-sharp crimps. The landscape is both wild and aesthetic, with boulders scattered in mossy woods, near brooks, and even above vast cave systems. The best time to boulder here is spring and autumn, when conditions are cool and friction is optimal.

What truly sets Sloup apart is its combination of high-end bouldering and ongoing potential for development. While problems like Autosil and Vasil Vasil have earned international respect, the untouched corners of cave entrances still hold untapped promise. It’s no surprise that world-class climbers like Adam Ondra call this place home. The climbing community is active and access is straightforward, making Sloup an excellent choice whether you're chasing hard sends or just soaking in the history and rock quality of one of Central Europe’s most respected bouldering crags.
