Descripción

Great tufa climbing with some outstanding routes, situated high above 'Odyssey'. You'll be rewarded for the long approach with a crag that you have on your own most of the times. Some routes can be quite wet in early spring and after rain.

Shade until 12:30.

Restricciones heredado de Armeos

When you pass a gate on your approach close it behind you! Also try to stay on the established approach paths.

Acceso

By scooter/car

From Masouri/Armeos, drive the main road towards Arginonta. Just after the sharp right turn above Kasteli, take the small road that leads up on your right (37.0167, 26.9423). Follow the road for about 500m.

Park on the side of the road, just before two big boulders (37.0122, 26.9432). Make sure to leave enough space for cars to pass through.

On foot/by bicycle

From Masouri/Armeos follow the road towards Arginonta until a rough dirt road leads up right (8 min by bike, 25 min on foot from Masouri), just after passing a couple of abandoned houses (37.0131, 26.9423). Lock your bike here, walk up the dirt road and turn right when you reach the small road above. Continue until you reach the two big boulders on your left, where the trail to 'Odyssey', 'Iliada' and 'Olympic Wall' starts.

Take the trail starting at the two large boulders on the left side of the road, leading up to 'Odyssey', 'Iliada', 'Olympic Wall' and 'Ocean Dream'. After about 2 min, the path splits. The main path continues left to 'Odyssey'. Take the smaller right branch, following blue color marks. After another 5 min, the path splits again. The path to the right leads to 'Iliada', straight uphill to 'Olympic Wall' and 'Ocean Dream'. Look for big green color marks that guide the direction and red dots and cairns along the way. You will reach the bottom of the cliff in about 30 min.

Ética heredado de Kalymnos

  • PREPARE to leave nothing behind (trashbag, etc).
  • Use your own gear for toproping. Use fixed gear only for lowering. (See first section of guidebook for details.)
  • Minimize single-use plastic. No recycling on the island (yet).
  • Use established paths and close gates behind you.
  • Consider a donation to the rescue team (red boxes).

Starts left of olympic wall just around the corner, above a small goat cave. Bring at least 16 quickdraws for the first pitch. Very safely bolted with good anchors. Rappelling down is possible 100m to the left when you reach the top, look for the black fixed rope. 4x25m to rappell is recommended, possible also with 2x50m if you take the lowest possible anchor in the middle.

Great moves across the black streak. Often very wet unfortunately.

A pleasant slab with a fingery crux at mid height. Shares the last bolt with 'Il Movimiento Sexi', but then moves to the right anchor shared with 'Les Ch'tis'.

Fantastic route up the tufa features with great moves and good rests in between. A technical crux right before the anchor makes the grade.

Sustained climbing on good, but slightly polished holds and tufas. Gets quite slippery on wet conditions. Use some long QDs to avoid rope drag.
