First 7a/23 onsight 🥳

Alzheimers flash, projected this 4 years ago, nice to put it down first go as a warmup this trip

Amnesia onsight, tried this 4 years ago and all I can remember is wanting to buy new quickdraws so I could lower off and not have to climb this.

Cool route, almost came off at the anchor

Really cool climb with a lot of different options at the crux. Was our last climb of the trip, and felt 2 grades harder due to the crazy humidity. I almost gave up on it. But managed to send on the hail mary go after Gabby started the send train (with mild food poisoning no less)

Very cool route, probably my favourite at secret garden so far

Very different from the other tufa climbs here

Awesome route, like a really long boulder

What an awesome route! Really endurance-y, should have done some beta runs instead of just throwing myself at it. But by the 3rd go I managed to somehow hold on till the anchors, almost puking in the process.

Gabby's following send was much smoother in comparison

First old dog slayed, can't remember much of my top rope go 4 years ago but I do know it wasn't pretty

Book says 6c+/7a, in good conditions I think it might even be 6c but today it was very spoogy so definitely 7a. The rock doesn't appear very polished it just has a lot of salt on it from the ocean.

Really classy climb though! Even with the spooge

3rd go, what a sick route. Basically a 4 bolt powerful boulder, then eases off but you'll be so cooked it'll still feel hard

Low crux felt quite hard for Kalymnos standards, rest of the climb felt very chill and sharp holds were all avoidable with some clever footwork

Wow what a fun route!

Really fun climbing with nice ocean view

Couldnt even do the start 4 years ago 😬

Bit polished & slippery but still very fun

Just what I like sustained thugging on jugs, but felt maybe more like 7a to me

Very cool climb! Pretty hard getting the crux draws on, but luckily I brought my trusty panic draw 😬. With 2 extended draws in the crux it's all very doable but hard cruxes for 6c+.

Last last last climb of the trip, sweaty and tired struggled my way up this but managed to hold on

Pretty fun slabbing, be aware there's extra bolts up high that would lead to the anchor of the 6c

Amazing route, such amazing views of the valley that I didnt look at because I hate exposure

Bit average compared to the rest of this crag and quite polished

Warmup

First 6b+ onsight

Was pretty pooped by the 2 7a's so this took a couple of goes. The part just before the sitdown tufa felt a lot more polished than 4 years ago.

Pretty fun climbing be careful of loose rocks

Easier than both of the 6a+'s next to it

In new shoes my toes still hurt

4th go, tired hail mary attempt. Again ended up with my wrong hand in the pocket but managed to save the send by double mono-ing the 3 finger pocket so I could switch my hands around 😅

Fun route albeit the crack felt a bit greasy

Another very old dog cleaned up, probably a poor choice after a big day of rain felt quite damp and slippery between the big tufa's

First climb of the trip, pretty good 🤌🏻

If you came all the way to rodellar only to find yourself disappointed by the lack of slab climbs, this one is for you.

This route is actually camino alegria and 6b+ according to the guidebook. The 6c that shares the anchor is the route without a name

Surprisingly fun movement! Used some big move beta at times because my toes hurt 😂

Gabbys 2nd 24. I couldn't do the crux in the sun

Got a new highpoint on my 2nd go, but rushed into the final crux and came off. Then couldn't get the draws off on my 3rd go after the rain due to the slippery crack now being even more slippery.

A reluctant & cold Gabby was sent up, and despite the rain she managed to hold on to the anchors getting her first 7a+ send

New highpoint, made it to the 2nd last clip but couldn't remember how to start the final boulder sequence. Quite foggy today, hopefully it'll go tomorrow.

Broke the super chalked chockstone halfway up the the crack in half, so removed it entirely as breaking it made it super loose. Route still climbs the same, so shouldn't affect the grade

Gabby almost flashed this as her first 7a+(24), then came off 1 move before the anchor. I struggled quite a bit more on the crack and final crux, cool route really cool movement, looking forward to giving it another go.

Also, at the finish I have no idea how to stay right and instead I trend a little left. But the final crux can be avoided entirely by going even more left, maybe thats the alternative that makes it 7a?

Not the right most route anymore, look for the route name on the wall

Alright warmup, a bit slippery/polished

Interesting undercling pocket crux

Pretty sharp at the bottom but classy moved from the 4th bolt. 6a+ according to the books

2nd go, lost the onsight getting the draws on the anchor, significantly easier when there's already draws on the anchor
