Crag Guide for Skalia

excellent route

Sharp.

Interesting moves, average rock quality

Really good. Keeps you on your toes!

Fingery balance work, got me well pumped, fantastic climbing

Amazing climbing. Super hard start then airy runout towards the top.

Spectacular climbing, some pretty exciting runouts for Kalymnos.

Beautiful climbing, until a nasty little run out at the last bolt, but still really, really worth...

Really really good. A bit run out in places... Climber starts to come into the sun around 11am at...

Good holds all the way...

Fun climbing, but slightly tricky route finding, it bounces between using holds on climbs on both...

Really good. 2010 guidebook states it is a climb with an extension with the first part being a 6a...

Sweet, got off route onto the extension of the climb on the right. Climbs here are very, very clo...

Nice and fun.

Fun wandery climbing

Nice and easy

More like a 10m extension.. But good. Unfortunately coming into the sun at 10am.

Good. Traversing juggy pockets.

Sweet

Hard bit at the start, then awesomeness!

Sweet

Sharp crimpy and sustained.... But really good.

Fun slab

Wicked fun and a super fun climb, funky holds in all the rights places but far apart. And real cl...

Brilliant! Juggy weaving goodness!

Wow. Super cruxy and interesting getting the draws on if you are a bit short. Really good though!

awesome thinness!!

Much better, a good little warm up route.

I can see why it's popular. Actually has some solid moves.

I got on this by mistake and was rewarded with sharp holds and lots of fresh little plants in the...

excellent

thin, sustained and beautiful

nice continuous climbing

Easy for the first 5m, sustained as for the rest

I feel sorry for any 6a climbers hoping to climb this... Not easy. That a side I really enjoyed it.

A love-hate affair

Not super

Almost dicked it up on the overhang. Up and down to figure it out.

Hmm, hardest 7a around. Like a Verdon 7a.

Yes, did the extension. Mantle that thing out.

This felt a bit harder then the other 6c+'s on this wall until you reach the first mega blog tufa...

Just loved this one

Really cool.....when you find the sequence.

Not much harder, but would be 7a I guess

A great route to learn how to tufa climb... Not to hard just a pinchy spot up top :)

Repeat ascent. A lot scarier than last time. More polished at the crux!!!

Tufa warfare!!! The tufa's on this bad ass are more like tree stumps. Great stylish move in the m...

Crazy-arsed tufa action ... Well worth trying.

Super polished ridiculously hard crimpy crux then mega juggy and fun.

Mike Doyle said he almost fell off, so I feel somewhat better. One of the harder cruxes on a Kaly...

More tufa awesomeness

Wrestle the giant anaconda

I really enjoyed this, got a couple of good tufa seats at the top and slipped out left for a move...

A bit confusing at the top. It goes left.

A bit over hyped but a kaly must do. The moves to the anchor almost caught me off guard. This is ...

With Owen. Have wanted to sit on the Hand of God since seeing people on it in 08 - just as much f...

It's a decent route if your ignore the fact that is graded 6a+.. Supersandbagged.

Hard as buggery for 3 moves

With Sam. More Yosemite-esque than Kalymnian - I found it a grand adventure. NOT 5c!

VG for its genre. V.v. smooth.

Sneakers to get gear off. Hard :)

had very sore feet by the time i got to this one - found it quite tough - smearing required on cr...

With Bo. Fun!

great slab climbing! really liked this climb

Bloody dog from 2010. Fell in the same spot 1st shot >:( Last pitch of the day got it done!!

Tricky last move

Crux a bit awkward but otherwise will be good with a bit of polish!

Still a little dirty, will be sweet as in a couple of years though

Possible 2nd ascent. Nice and long with potential for some nice moves along the way. Was the 3rd ...

Greasy polished start with a super high first hold. 3 hard moves then a razor sharp 6a finish.

Should be good moves but the feet are really super polished on the lower half

Contrived. Cool feature of a white snake though....

Sharp, love the artwork though :)

Pity the bolts were so spaced at potential ledge hitting falls at the start. The climb is good......

Draws on by Pat, which was good as it looked a little nasty, odd bolt placements causing awkward ...

Nasty little rout, not a good warmup at all

Hard and scary clips for the grade....

Mega hard start that turned out to be not so bad once I found the magic knee bar!! The top is qui...

Kind of spoogy and damp.... But it's not like I could have held on to half of these holds anyway....

3 more shots in spoogy conditions after the rain today, fell off at previous high point twice. Wi...

4shots, one fall each, third shot actually got through the crux and still fell off

Awesome.. Bit techy for the grade.

Even more beautiful slab climbing

Really good. A bit run out by Kaly standards and definately not holiday grading. Cool funky moves...

Beautiful slab climbing
