5.11d | ★★★ Stone Age Romeos | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Really nice climbing, especially as it shares the first bolt of walk on the wild side. Hard work done... Cruise up to the end to a smack in the face hard move. Polished soap fingernail crimps anyone??
|
||||||
5.11c | ★★ Walk on the Wild Side (Walk on he Wilde Side) | ★ Good | ||||
Got wigged out by the super polished nature. Super balancy. When it went, I thought I would be off pretty much at any second. Surprised!!

5.11b | ★★★ Mr Rogers Smokes a Fat One | 30m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | |||
wow, what a pump! either very unfit or this is a sandbag and a half!!! super good holds but you get pumped early on... tactic game to depump and keep going. thought i was off about 3 times but miraculously managed to stay on regardless of mega pump!

7a+ | ★★★ Ivi | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Finally got back on this one after a very long time! Not steep fit at all so took a couple of goes but when it went, it went beautifully! And that's what I love about climbing!

Armeos Spartacus | ||||||
7b+ | ★★★ Spartacus | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Awesome climb! If you don't find the crux trick, could be very hard... But if you do.... There is no crux! Unless of course you get super pumped...

Palionisos Palionisos Red Wall | ||||||
7a+ | ★ Os Court | 30m | Average | |||
Would be an awesome route if most of the holds weren't still breaking off. Potentially dangerous to get to the 2nd bolt due to loose and continually crumbly rock. Crux is pretty good.
|
||||||
Thu 12th Apr 2012 - Kalymnos | ||||||
Kamari Mystery | ||||||
7a+ | ★★ Paradise Artificial | 25m | ★ Good | |||
If bolting a bit better would be good. Thai style sling before a run out of easy crumbly rock. Gets better.
|
||||||
6c | ★★ Olymbiakos (Olymbiacos) | 35m, 11 | ★ Good | |||
Definate sandbag for the grade! And that hold that looks like a loose piece of rock??? You really need to use that!!!

Rock exploding fun! Bit cleaner now that some bits have come off....taking me with it!!! Good fun (apart from the part where I punched myself in the mouth with a tufa blob..)
|
||||||
7b | ★★★ Novembersonne | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This climb could be an absolute classic once cleaned up. At the moment, half of it is encrusted with that cauliflower crumbly stuff that makes you want to cry. But ignoring that, the moves are superb! Well bolted! Same anchors as Baden.

Escher World | ||||||
7a+ | ★★ Don't Grab the Krabi | 13m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
For something that is my style, it didn't come quickly. Having damaged fingers and the usual Thai belly issues may have taken their toll. Not hard but....I fell!! A lot!! It was as if my hands didn't want to hold on.. How rude! Just one hold...then magically, they worked and it was easy as pie!!! Weird experience.

With Russell, who got 'the' first ascent. Two ridiculously hard moves and the potential to have to superglue tape to your fingertips... 3 bolts, a green camalot with sling, and either run it out to the top (easy ground after 2-3 moves) or drop a sling over the top. Fourth bolt will be added soon. Finishes at same anchor as Blowing bubbles. Thanks to the guys who originally bolted it and then left it as an open project as advertised on qurank. The bolts were well placed!
