Ascensioni in Galatianí

Hectically good fun. Mountain project has an excellent description of this one

To come back to, this has a seriously fun dyno move

Good sauce

Technical face climb into a great tufa-blob overhang with many kneebars and a dynamic finale!

Feels stiff for the grade

Had some nice moves in sections, but was a bit to sharp to be pleasant.

Sustained tufa blobs and pockets. Ace. Ran out of juice in the thin sequence just before the bridging rest.

Fell high up on the onsight (with no warm up - sun coming) just before gaining the monster tufa. Huge 10-15m whipper.

Better luck second time around in the blazing sun. Still had to fight super hard and only just squeaked through. Best 7c on the planet, no joke. [2]

Close!

Wow.

Tricky move at the start.

WHY THE HELL putting the anchor right on top of the hardest crux, so difficult to reach the anchor without a draw preclipped and falling would make you so difficult to get back to the route because of the super overhanging and traversing. One of the worst anchor positions after I have climbed over a thousand routes on this island, I am so pissed of because this anchors messed up the whole plan for upper 8a extension.

The name Rognol is under the route and made me climbed on the wrong route, but this one is as hard as a 7b, difficult to clean draws because of the anchor.

Technical with a steep ending. Outstanding route. Very varied climbing.

Steep with good tufas and pockets. Pumped the daylight out of me ;-) Typical Kalymnos overhang climbing.

Plenty of birds shit, but you can find figs on the tree at the top

Awesome climb.

2nd Go

2nd Go

Awesome but really stiff! Hard fight finding beta and reaching the anchor. Crux after the kneebar with a pocketed blob and no good holds for the right hand while traversing left. Kneebar pad for the left is useful. Flash by Jude was impressive. Josie found it reachy.

REVENGE! this thing feels so hard in the summer. Tried and failed on it a few years ago with Carl+Chloe. Second try of the day, after brushing out the gross pocket.

Fantastic tufa, it deserves an indipendent start !

roof! hard to clean
