Description

If the island of Kalymnos in Greece is known for its sport climbing (climbing routes of one pitch), it also has some beautiful multi pitch routes that it would be a shame not to discover!

It is one of these beautiful routes that I propose you to climb with me. Climbing a multi pitch route is an opportunity to live an incredible experience, to get some height and admire the landscapes of the island of Kalymnos, and probably those of the neighboring island of Telendos as well. The atmosphere will also be great as the void will grow under our feet as we climb.

Here are some suggestions of routes we could climb together:

  • Kalymnos 2000 and Platon: Those two close and parallel routes are located in the School sector. There are mainly slab routes with good holds and the level is 5c maximum. The descent is done by abseiling.
  • 3 stripes: Located on the left of Spartacus sector, the approach to this route is already an enchantment as it makes you discover the spectacular and famous Grande Grotta with its stalactites.  The climbing is varied, 5c maximum and leads to a plateau from where the view on the island of Telendos is amazing. The return is done by hiking, on a sometimes steep path.
  • Regensburg: a maximum of 5c difficulty, excellent and grippy rock, close bolting characterize this multi pitch route. The start is to the left of the Sea Breeze sector, and the route offers an overhanging view of the magnificent bay of Arginonta.
  • Etc.

The technical equipment is included in the price of the service (including climbing shoes). It is however preferable to bring your own if you have some.

If you want to take advantage of your trip in Kalymnos to practice other vertical activities, I can suggest you to take some climbing sessions to initiate yourself or to improve, to try solo climbing above water or climb the local via ferrata. And for those who want to extend the experience, I also offer climbing stays including yoga sessions here in Kalymnos.
