Psili Riza

  • Grade context: FR

Description

Sector Psili Riza, also unofficially known as ‘The North Face (TNF) Crag’, was bolted specifically for—and unveiled during—the 2012 TNF Kalymnos Climbing Festival. It was the venue for the Project Competition. (Taken from www.climbkalymnos.com)

After 13:00 in spring/summer and after 10:30-11:00 in fall.

Approach

Sector Psili Riza is located inland, high above the village of Panormos.

From Masouri, take the road leading to Pothia (the main port). Go past Elies village and the big super market ‘Smalios’ on the right. Appr. 50m past the super market, turn left. Go to the end of the road and park in front of the monastery (St. Panteleimon).

If access through the monastery is open, walk to the end of the road inside and up the steps to the right. Go out through the gate and close it behind you; then, follow the trail marked in red paint and cairns. After 30min the uphill trail traverses slightly leftwards and comes to the foot of the massive cliff. If access through the monastery is closed, start at the parking lot and traverse rightwards around the monastery until you come to the start of the marked trail. Total walking time: 45-55min.

Ethic inherited from Kalymnos

  • PREPARE to leave nothing behind (trashbag, etc).
  • Use your own gear for toproping. Use fixed gear only for lowering. (See first section of guidebook for details.)
  • Minimize single-use plastic. No recycling on the island (yet).
  • Use established paths and close gates behind you.
  • Consider a donation to the rescue team (red boxes).
