In my opinion this length is the “hardest”. The start from the belay station is weird, especially with three people. Furthermore, the move to the next belay station is again tricky.

The guidebook mentioned this length as 5c+. However, there are plenty of jugs. You can pull them and the “crux” is done. In my opinion the fourth length is more tricky and therefore harder.

Easy. | 180m | ★★★ Classic | |||
We climbed the route in a three-man team and started by sunrise. The route is great, especially if you combined it with the abseiling over the Grande Grotta as we did. I already climbed the route in 2019. Compared to 2019 some parts are more polished but still okay. However, I was surprise that some flakes sounded hollow. I wonder if these flakes still exist in another four years.

6b | ★★ Yaka | 35m, 14 | ★★ Very Good | |||
The route shares the first three bolts with the route “Amythos”. It is a very technical route. It took me some time to figure out how to solve the two cruxes. The route is ver interesting.

Armeos Cœur d'Armeos | ||||||
6b | ★★ Senza Freni | 32m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Easy 6b. The route starts easy on a slab followed by a wall with a bulge (crux). However, the crux is done with a few moves.
|

Very interesting route with a lot of different climbing style. Pockets, crimps, bulge and a small corner.

6b+ | ★★ Bella Mora | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Yes, it it easier if you go on the left, however at a certain point you have to go to the right. Furthermore, it helps a lot if you know where the fingerhole is.

Easy warm up.
|
||||||
6c | ★★ Panacea — 3 attempts | 32m, 16 | ★★★ Classic | |||
An easy start, than a quite reachy crux on small crimps and polished places for the feet. Afterwards it gets easier. I needed a first attempt to figure out how to solve the crux. On my second attempt my foot slipped on some polished whatever. Finally, I reached the top with my third attempt.
|
||||||
6c Hard | ★★ Natsa-Natsa | 32m, 14 | ★ Good | |||
A very interesting start on small holds and almost nothing for the feet. However, with some balancy moves the start is okay. Than follows an easy middle part leading directly to the crux. I do not understand how to solve it in the first run, so I had to rest. The moves are on very small crimps and fingerholes with only a few tiny places to put your feet. Furthermore, the moves are reachy. I think it is harder than 6c.

Very nice line for warm up. However, the bolting is quite far.
|
||||||
6b+ Hard | ★ Mikrotera Kalamarakia | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is a very tough route. I did not figure out the correct sequence so I had to rest. I was very pumped after the juggy start. The crimpy upper part is easier but still demanding especially if you are pumped.
|
||||||
6a+ Hard | ★ Haryvdi | 19m | ★ Good | |||
The start is very polished. I slipped and fell. The upper part is more enjoyable.

Palionisos Heroes | ||||||
6b Hard | ★ Statler + Waldorf | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I think the route is harder than 6a+. I think it is the same grad as the one to the left (Greek Freak). It starts with some moves on jugs and has an very interesting side move in the upper part.

6c Hard | ★★ Bratsera | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Hard and pumpy. I reached the crux but could not figure out how to solve it. I had to rest. It toke me a while to understand the move. I had to go laterally before I could go up. The route felt harder than 6c.
|
||||||

Nothing special.

5c | ★ Nonno Ringo | 18m, 11 | ★ Good | |||

Very interesting slab followed by a short corner. It is a short technical route with some balancy moves.
|

6b | ★★ Maja | 15m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great route. However, the route is very short and the crux is solved with three powerful pulls.

I liked the route. However, there is only one short crux over a bulge. Fun.
|
||||||
6a+ | ★★ Mandala Ext | 32m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The crux is directly over the anchor of Mandala. However, you need only two powerful pulls. Afterwards, it is a mowed meadow.
|
||||||
6a+ | ★★ Mandala | 22m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great route. I really liked it. The crux was in the small chimney. However, I solved it in the saxon way of climbing. 😀

This route is better than the one to the right (Sadi Kwa). Interesting line with a steep start and exciting problems in the upper part. The anchor is hard to clip when you are smaller.
|
||||||
6b ~6b | ★ Un Culte | 36m, 17 | ★★★ Classic | |||
All the way up you have to solve several problems so that the route does not become boring. Some of the problems are more demanding than the others.
I really liked this route.

6a ~5c+ | ★★ Svinelli | 18m, 7 | ||||
A very easy 6a. I guess it is more a 5c/c+ with a very friendly bolting.
|
||||||
6c ~6c+ | ★ Claire | 20m | Average | |||
Easy start and a very hard upper part on crimps with more or less nothing for the feet. In my opinion this route is harder then the route Aratus, which is also a 6c.

6c+ | ★★ 2046 | 20m, 10 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
My first onsight 6c+ on this island. 😀 The route felt like it was created for me. Every move in this route was exactly my style. Every hold, undercling or crimp fit perfectly in my hand. I loved the route, great one.
However, it was a hard and exhausting climb. I had to change several times from right to left or the other way around. The moves were reachy and sometimes dynamic.
|
||||||
6b | ★★★ Persephone | 28m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
The route was okay. The crux is the move over the bulge. Afterwards follow the big holds to the top.

Warm Up. Hard to read.
|
||||||
6c | ★ Alceo | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
The route starts with an easy slab. The crux is close to the top over the small bulge. These moves are very fingery and technical. I did not find the solution and had to rest.
For me the clip of the anchor was very difficult. I had only small crimps for my hands and nearly nothing for my feet. The last bolt is so close to the anchor that my harness and the bolt are at the same height. Pulling out the rope for clipping the anchor was very hard.

6a+ | ★★ Lafete Alm | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice. The route passes two big flakes. Climbing the second flakes is very interesting, when you climb directly over the flakes. The move is easy, however, reaching the bolt is more difficult. The route shares the top with the route to the right, Qeen Couine.

Good solid route with some not so obvious moves at the upper half. A lot of holes are chalked, however, most are useless. Still fun.
