Stavros 암벽등반 16 루트들 에서의 암장

A broad limestone cliff band with routes up to 110 meters high overlooking the town of the same name. The routes have some fixed gear but all seem to require a rack of some sort. Grades range from 4c to 6b. The guidebook describes the descent as a rappel line in the middle of the cliff band but this seems improbable when approached from above. A walk off to the south into a ravine leads to a fixed rope hand rail and allows return to the base in 30 to 45 minutes. The cliffs are mostly west-facing and heat up rather quickly, so an early start is recommended. The reward is a trip to the beach at the base of the cliff band.

An excellent spot for traditional climbing with superb view to the sea. You will need around 45 minutes to get to the starting point of the routes. Full climbing equipment is needed for those routes.

This climbing area is around 17-18km away from the city of Chania. It's a very beautiful place with superb view to the sea. You wont find any bolts here, the spot is for traditional climbers only and therefore you will need a full climbing equipment to enjoy the routes with safety. The biggest route in the area is around 110 meters. Double ropes of course are necessary, 2x50m are recommended around 8-9mm. The quality of the rock is quiet good and you wont find it difficult to place your nuts while climbing.

Avoid climbing as usually during the hot days of the summer and be aware that you will need at least 25-30 minutes until you get to the starting point of the routes. Pay attention on the description of the routes on the related articles to mark the starting point as the routes are quiet far from the beach and can't recognize them easily when been there.

There are various shops near the beach where you can have launch after climbing and of course an excellent beach to swim.
