Levá platena is the largest and highest sector of the Hlubočep plate area. It is 40m of vertical limestone with dominantly small holds and stupas. The sector is excellently and safely secured, and its safeguards are regularly changed. The climbing is dominantly for advanced climbers with only three routes for beginners. Everything is climbed on the first. Hikers can move around on top of the rock and inadvertently drop rocks and debris down. Along with that, some paths, especially joints, are fragile. A helmet is therefore recommended for everyone who moves around the stove.
Climbing is subject the rules for rock climbing.

Bloody Mary (1)

6a+ (7-)

This path begins only a few meters below the top of the left loose slope at the end of the plate. The climb is divided into two sections, separated by a slightly crumbly ledge. The entire path is over micro holds and leads straight up to the ledge along two ledges. From there, it turns slightly to the left over two more borháks for abseiling. However, be extra careful, as the climber will move close to the left edge and the top of the plate, where there is a risk of increased crumbling.

Operation Anthropoid (1.1)

6c/6c+ (7+/8-)

This route is the first of two variants of the Bloody Mary route. It has a total of four belay points, which end on the rock. The first half of the journey is the same as the maternity journey. It splits behind a crumbly edge, from where it goes straight up again via micro holds, over two boulders to abseil. As with Route #1, be extra careful around the top edge above the salt flat, which tends to crumble and debris falling from the summit.

Golden Veins (1.2)

7a/7a+ (8)

This journey is the longest and most difficult in this trio of journeys. The first half is the same as the previous trips. From the edge, however, it leads slightly diagonally to the right, after a series of micro steps over three borháks to rappelling. Since this path leads mostly along the crumbly edge, it is necessary to watch out for loose pieces. Along with this, the same warnings apply as for the previous two routes.

The path leads to the right of path No. 4. Evička Bez Trička. The first borhák is high, but after that the path is well secured. It is allowed to climb the second borhák with the hands using the edge. However, it must not be crossed, as it is secondary route No. 6. The climbing ends after the fourth borhák by abseiling from the new circle to the shelf. There is a risk of slight crumbling when using the edge.

On this one, the path turns left and leads over three bolts to the abseil. The route is one of the longest routes on the plate and can be climbed using the multipitch technique over the slalom of route 8 on the shelf halfway up the route. Due to the length and roughness of the route, a helmet is recommended for both climbers and belayers.

Access:

Levá plotna is the largest rock in the climbing area of Hlubočepská plotna. It is located approximately 150 meters from right plates and about 650 meters from the Prague-Žvahov train station. You can get to the sector, just like the right plate, in three main ways.

Northern access road is the least used. It leads from Prague 5 through a meadow with astral circles and down the slope towards Hlubočepy's Skalnička Garden and K Dalejím Street. Just before connecting to the asphalt road from the footpath, however, you need to turn onto the footpath between the trees (GPS: 50°02'34.3″N 14°23'23.3″E). On foot we reach the platform overlooking the left plate. On the right side there are paths leading down from the precipice, along which we go down and turn left into a small canyon. This will get us under the small and left plate.

South-East route it leads from the stop of buses 120 and 258. If you came in the direction of travel to Radotín, we recommend going back a few meters against the direction of travel and turning left into Hlubočepská street and the next right turn into Pod útesy street. At the end of this street, turn right again and join the street Ke Hřbitovu, which leads uphill. If you arrived in the direction of Na Knížecí, it is faster to go along Slivenecká Street, which you will see on the left in front of you in the direction of travel. Through here you will come to a crossroads, where you turn left into Ke Hřbitovu street and then the first street on the right.

Both options will take you to the train tracks at the top of the hill. After those, head left until you reach the left plate. We emphasize that this is an active railway, watch out for the train! There are two possible approaches from this direction. One on the slope directly below the plate (steep and loose) and the other a few meters further to the left on a gentle slope (longer but more comfortable).

South Road leads along Hlubočepská street. It is necessary to pass under the semmering, behind which you can conveniently parallel park for free. After semmering, the climber goes down the first street to the right along K Dalejím street and then after the pub Hurdálková chýše jedová around the rock to the right again, where he comes to the fork next to the Skalničková garden of Hlubočepy. He takes the path to the right again and continues until, you guessed it, he hits a well-trodden path through the trees on the right. The same as in the case of the approach from the north of the meadow.
