Ascents in Greece by Zalika VR

Physical, technical and exposed. One of the best at the grade

A climb that has you smiling all the way.

Not the prettiest send but great climbing. Challenging in humid, windless conditions.

Rest day cameo. Excellent rock.

Enjoyable

Very fun.

Very pleasant!

Sweet warm up.

Long enjoyable climbing

Engaging climbing with a nice mono!

Maybe not the best warm up. Bit stiff?

Fluffed the OS hesitating up high. No matter because super nice techy climbing - happy to climb a second time. Easy once you know where you’re going.

Excellent climbing. Straight forward once you have your sequence. 2nd go. Another lap after to explore the extension but sun had arrived!

Pumpy but straightforward tufa pulling

Should end about 5 metres lower but really good otherwise.

2nd shot after hesitating at the bulge for too long on the onsight in far too humid conditions. Enjoyable climbing, even the slab!

Can’t claim flash as remember trying it years ago. Great little number

Excellent techy climbing, even when slimy.

Sustained and reachy.

Windless sweaty conditions got to me on the onsight attempt, wimped out on a reachy clip. 2nd go easily. Only a few tenuous moves but they really pump you quickly. Mega classic.

Technical corner tufa’faceing before great climbing on tufa blobs. Not too hard.

One the best climbs I’ve done on the island. 2nd go.

Bit of a pumpy warm up but good.

Really enjoyed this.

A fun journey.

Super sweaty. 2nd go with ease once I remembered how to climb tufas.

Sent on my second shot, great last day in Kalymnos.... Kneebar heaven!

Third short, fun beta. Short and sassy. Jugs and reachy move to more jugs finish!

Beautiful climbing, so enjoyable!

So fun

Misread. Also thought the top was harder than the “crux”

Stunning climbing, left me smiling for a while!

Lovely warm up.

A bit of everything. Very fun.

Learnt quickly that this is NOT a warm up, smooth and flowy second go though! Super techy lower crux and pumpy top - great rest midway. Highly recommended!

Good holds once you find them. Big moves at the end!

Got tired on Alfredo crux so jumped on this. Sent as the sun was coming on the wall. Nice technical climbing. Feet are key!

Sustained and beautiful.

Super nice. 2nd go. Found the midway cruxy section harder than the top.

Awesome climbing and top sequence. Desperation in 38 degrees. Happy with this one!

Got lost up high on the onsight. Second go. Super nice wandering route with a sting up high. Deserves to be more popular!

Excellent climbing

Silly mistake on the OS. Fantastic climbing with a crux that can be done multiple ways.

Maybe not quite at the grade but fun moves.

Mega warm up

Onsight taken by blinding sun in eyes at anchor. 2nd go in the sun was a bit sloppy but job done. Good one but polished.

Anchor placement (even though it has been lowered now) still disturbs the flow and character of the climb overall. Significantly harder and very awkward to clip anchor if you’re shorter.

Really nice and techy. Felt bit stiff but could be jet lag
