Description

One-pitch routes in this part of the canyon. Most of the crag is north or north-east oriented. Excellent limestone.

Access issues inherited from The Gorge of Xerokambos

Be considerate of nature.

Approach

The easy way how to get to the canyon is to use a regular path from the Xerokambos. It takes you 50 minutes to get to our sectors "Red Rock" and "Kókkino Vrácho". The second possibility is to go with a car above the canyon and descend to the canyon from the top. In this case, you park two kilometers before the village Hametoulo ( road from Xerokambos to Ziros). Go along the yellow mark from the parking lot to the canyon. This route takes 15 minutes. However, there is at least one difficult place where you have to abseil down eight meters. There is a fixed rope installed. Be aware that you are descending in a highly protected area ( Natura 2000, archeological site).

Where to stay

Xerokambos or Zakros.

Ethic inherited from The Gorge of Xerokambos

Big birds like eagles and vultures are nesting in this canyon during spring. So be aware of this fact.

An open project. A nice climbing with the crux in the first third of the route.

An overhang in the middle of the wall is crucial.

Very nice climbing with the crux in the middle part of the route.
