Ascents in Cœur d'Armeos having Beta

Consistent slab and wall climbing to a steeper, orange part.

2/3, bis kurz vorm orangenen Teil.

21 out of 30 - 6B or higher challenge.

Picked this as a warm-up based on the time tested criteria that it's about the right grade, and was one of the only routes free in a seathing mass of humanity. Looked a poxy slabby ramble weaving through bushes. Actually, was great climbing.

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.

Super easy with one or 2 tricky moves.

Nice

Didn't enjoy this as much as senza freni, mostly because I was crushed with no warning at all by the rope being pulled by the party on the route to the left. All part of life's grand tapestry.

Nothing amazing but not bad. Bit tricky at the top for the grade. Non QuickClips anchors.

ok

First kalymnos climb

Easy and nice warm up.

Good value off vertical journey.

Found a yellow scorpion 5cm from my foot while belaying Scott.... Luckily I kept my trail shoes on!

Became windy as we hit the second pitch. Swung leads so I got this one. Pretty good but there are a few big loose blocks about still. A little run out if you are at the grade. Ended up lowering into le coeur des armeos cave to get out as the wind would have wrapped our rope around numerous blocks otherwise.

ok

Better climbing than 1st pitch

Great route with a little bit in the tail for good measure.......fabulous fun.

Leisurely climbing up a right facing flake and transition left slightly to anchor on left face of overhanging wall.

Hey I done the first pitch ????

A little bit of loose rock down low but great crack into crimpy slab climbing through the top section

Loved it. Bit of crack climbing, bit of crimpy goodness. Harder than the 6b+'s at this crag though. You need an 80m rope!!

interesting moves on sharp rock. watch those knees!

yay blood + this route is not 20m as described in the update, had to do some creative clipping

Sharp and slightly trick start, easy end

Really, really good, no stars in the guide but I think this is the pick of the bunch, reminded me of resistor over at ghost kitchen

Pockety goodness.

Nice sequency climbing on pockets with a couple of damp/humid holds to keep you engaged. Easy to miss holds and make it harder than it has to be.

Sweet climbing all the way

Super long steep slab. This sector is super popular. 80m rope gets you down just. Hard fingers start to pull on, then easier sustained featured slab.

I thought the lower slab was tough!

First slab section is tricky, easier moves follow on jugs

Good climbing, but really squashed in by the routes on either side

Occasionally not sure of what climb I was on as three converges but otherwise good.

Sweet climbing, pretty sharp and a little difficult to read in the crux area but nice climbing

still a bit crumbly. good practice for perfect feet while wearing short shorts... no knee scrapes here... a lot of feet broke off though, made it rather exciting!

sharp, with a little bit of crumbly stuff thrown in for good measure

One fall because a hold broke off - be careful in those new routes.

55m marathon of fun sharp and varied at the top. Tricky to skip draws on the 5c

Sam's first "too long to lower in one go" pitch.

Interesting and challenging first part to and over the diagonal seam. Easier but nice above. Toprope for K.

Nothing special. The crux is only one move, the rest is easier.

Sneaks.

TR solo to retrieve gear.

Retro flash. Found it harder than Hiphiphip.

A nice and consistent climb. First #freesolo. Slabby enough that it wasn't scary.

Retro flash.

Enjoyable intro to Kalymnos rock!

Very Nice warm-up
