This route, which goes across the biggest overhang in the Tatra mountains, was made by Slovak climbers Pavol Jackovič a Miro Mrava in June 2002 (they classified it as VII-, A4). At the begining of March 2013, SINGING ROCK athlete Pavol Rajčan and his buddy Pavol Sulák they made the first free drytool ascent there (they classified it as M12).

Since Wednesday 26th Feb 2014 the route has had the first drytool repeat thanks to "Stoupa" and "Stračena". On Tuesday the guys tried the overhang just for a familiarization and the day after they climbed the whole line completely free, Honza took the overhang as first. In addition to climbing, they made nice photos...

Congratulations. Keep on like this!
