Czech Rock Jumping


In today's New York Times is an article that begs for a soundtrack such as Tarzan-like yodeling or "Wipeout." It's about the nascent extreme sport of rock jumping in Adrspach, Czech Republic. Click on the title to read the whole story and access the video. Is there fun and crazy Czech music that would be perfect for this?

Okay, I'm the same woman who just thanked you for the O Mag article :) ... couldn't help noticing this post, and felt compelled to comment.

I've in fact been to Adrspach on a climbing trip, and would HIGHLY recommend it. No rock jumping for me though :). Incidentally I forwarded the NYT article to my brother who lives in Switzerland, and encouraged him to drive up to the CR sometime and see it for himself.

Adrspach is a great place for trekking/hiking, so no need to pack ropes, biners or harnesses or even a tent or that much GORP :). There are lots of hotels and restaurants. Convenient and fun.

I could go on and on. It's a neat destination.

Thanks for passing on a recommendation. I love hiking and mountainous terrain so I can't wait to enjoy this area. No rock jumping for me either though, I value both of my ankles in whole condition!
