Palionisos Secret Garden
6a+ ★ Achinos - with Min Sheppard Sport 25m, 11 ★★ Very Good
Stiff little 6a+ ... Got myself into a ridiculous position on warmup and took a ripper of a fall, then a foothold broke and claret flowed thereafter. Top roped it after that to get my head straight again.

Tremendous hybrid between bouldery tufa and balancey face climbing.

Armeos Panorama
6c 6c+ ★★ Cyclops - with Scott Hailstone Sport 20m ★★★ Mega Classic
Outstanding climbing on an interesting, wandering line over juggy, overhanging, tufy(?) terrain. A bit gutted to not get the redpoint ... need to work on sequencing and spend a bit more time on overhangs

Fri 14th Sep 2012 - Kalymnos
Telendos Pescatore
6c+ ★ Farabutto Sport 25m ★★★ Classic
Great climbing on fairly sharp rock ... Fairly thin, slightly overhanging crux on the sharpest of it. Did my best to smile like the Buddha through it but needed two shots to get through the crux at the end of a long and fantastic day at Telendos.

  
6b+ ★★ Agelica Babis Bar (Angelica Babis bar) - with The inimitable Scott Hailstone Sport 30m ★★★ Classic
Awesome ... wandering, bouldery route requiring a bit of faith that the holds will 'be there' ... very satisfying climbing. Bring a couple of long draws or slings.

6b 6a+ ★★★ Telendos Star - with Scott Hailstone Sport 35m, 18

Fantastic, continuous climbing at a great crag ...
