Ascents in Greece as Flash by Tobias Auth

Worst fixed anchor gear of the whole trip.

The right one of the two lines above the name. Don't remember much. Dihedral crux and some small holds to an easier rooflet.

Great fun with several "incut" handjams and good moves. Everyone seemed to agree on 6c, maybe 6c+ in crag context.

Just a single hard move to a sharp hold. Otherwise around 6a.

Far easier than expected. Cool climbing though! Felt like 6b/+ to me. A reachy crux, so may be harder (around 6c/+?) for shorter climbers, like Mike pointed out. Never 7a/+.

Knew the first, low crux from Mike's OS but didn't expect the tricky slab! Good! 6c/+ seems fair.

Excellent view over the village.

Went for this after Thomas and Manu. Interesting and very thin, but also thuggy in parts, on broccoli, orange and grey rock. Crux move hard to figure out – only just made it to the pocket.

Enjoyable slab with a vertical crux on good holds. Just below the vertical part there only one easy sequence (to the sidepull pocket).

Very good for the grade!

Not as easy as the grade suggests. 5a?

1.5 stars. Very unusual and I didn't trust any of these holds. Weird anchor clip. But will be very popular for sure!

Hard to find the easiest way right away.

I think this will be very good after some traffic! Squeezed with other routes at the start but good climbing and a crux at the top that is probably hard if you don't bridge/ dropknee. Felt 6b to me.

1.5 stars 6b+ I think. squeezed at the bottom.

1.5 stars. Block at half height should probably be cleaned.

Enjoyable with some reachy moves.

Surprisingly not too polished – even though it's one of the first routes of the island. Not as easy as expected but a fun change of style.

After a wandery start it get's techy and a little awkward on small and sharp hands and feet. Not the style I came to Kalymnos for, so maybe that's why I didn't think it was super classic. Some fun moves and worth getting on still.

Not as bad as I would've imagined. Rarely got as pumped in the last 4 weeks though!

Impressive line. Less bolts than elsewhere on Kalymnos. Very good sustained tufa climbing in the first half. Funky second half. Mostly endurance but also some smaller holds and harder technical moves. Crux for me was the part to the big black tufa. Went more left than right there. Very pumped as I got to the big sitdown rest "hotel room" close to the anchor. Leif shot a video of my ascent. Took me 25 minutes. My first 7a+ flash. I was wearing my resoled Vapor V's.

Video of the ascent:

Very good! More intuitive, better moves and less sustained than it's left neighbor.

Sustained climbing on sharp holds. Solid for the grade.

Even better than the routes to the left. Starts sharp, superb above.

A great consistent climb with a obvious and interesting crux.

A nice sequence on lovely pockets in the middle part. Upper part with a tree and a suspicious looking block. Only route on this restday.

Starts sharp and technical. A neat slab above.

An exercise for trusting your feet. Close to falling off but grunting helped. Glad that Stef hung the QDs. My first 7a flash.

Technical wall and slab with an overhanging start on tufas and pockets. The part above the ledge was the crux for me.

Unique and fun to climb!

As the guide suggests: Below average slab.

I like that broccoli. So much friction!

meh.
