Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Kafka | | German term or phrase: Kletterkunststück | I get the idea, but can't seem to phrase it well in English. This is Max Brod describing swimming and boating with Kafka:
"Ungezählte schöne Stunden verbrachten wir auf den Brettern der Prager Badeanstalten, in Kähnen auf der Moldau, mit **Kletterkunststücken** auf den Mühlwehren des Stromes..." |

3 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1
1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 impressive/masterful climbing antics/exploits/feats
Explanation:
From the context, it sounds like just some spontaneous fun. I'd include "impressive" (or similar) to get across the "Kunststück" element.
Also:
- demonstrations of climbing skill
