Description

East Side is the biggest sector on Sněžník. Via connection with sector Rolling Stones it makes East Side no more solitary area. Thanks to SE orientation gets the first shade on the hill. In addition to the great sandstone structure, this sector offers spectacular views of the Czech Central Mountains, Lusatian Mountains, Bohemian Switzerland and Saxony. Due to frequent SE wind most of the boulders dry out very fast.

East Side je největším sektorem Sněžníku a díky propojení s Rolling Stones již nění dále izolovaným sektorem. Nabízí odpolední stín a častý jihovýchodní vítr, díky kterému většina kamenů usychá rychle. Kromě parádní struktury pískovce si můžete vychutnat nádherné výhledy na České středohoří, Lužické hory, Labské pískovce a Sasko.

History

Years ago we started exploring sandstone boulders around Sněžník and in 2004 the first Boulder Cup was born. It has been so much fun all the time, however we never planned or push to do another. Last year we were visiting East Side more frequently and we realized very soon that the place has a big potential and spirit as well. Great group of people invested a lot of energy to prepare boulders for others. At the beginning we did not know how many good problems we will find, but as more time we spent in the sector we knew it is worth with. We were expecting about 200 problems and we ended up on 440. East Side has the best views to the landscape, dries out fast and it has great quality of sandstone.
