Pretty happy to bag the Cobra second try. All routes and extensions in the bowl now done. Used a stack of long slings and roller biners. Hayden Kennedy promptly flashed it on my gear [2]

Extension time - bring on the Cobra!

Fell on the LAST bolt on the onsight. Destroyed! Super happy to have got that far onsight.

This is a fantastic warm-up, must remember it. Pretty restful, yet still warms you up nicely.

Executed. [3]

Got wrong handed. Also had to install a fallen-off hanger. Kaly, please move to glue-ins. Pretty please.

Warm up

Added to the sneaker list, with Bo.

Closer to onsight than flash. Clips were in, I saw a french guy up there but I had no beta. 45m mega pitch.

Sneakers again to clean.

Quick end of the day onsight attempt. Failed, but in a spectacular way. Maybe next try?

Rope up for John, who only had 2 rests! Always a great exercise.

Added to the sneaker list.

Climbed with Simon.

7th bolt. Pox slab thing, desperate. Couldn’t be arsed

Great pockety long moves

In sneakers.

In sneakers. My hardest sneakers tick so far, the traverse was NAILS!

Repeat in sneakers, which is actually hard on the crux traverse

Sneakers

New Mon Bat extension. Bouldery. Mine was perhaps the 2nd ascent? Chloe Minoret flashed it after me (gah!!!). Thanks to Simon for the draws and encouragement.

2 burns. One hanged the second burn.

More burly than the other routes, boy-ish.

Repeat in sneakers

Contrived up top unfortunately. One star.

Awesome again

Long and super good. Pockets.

Repeat. Hard for grade I think.

Hard with no chalk, fixed now though. A very very good route. Do it.

Well this is odd. When I climbed this route (2008) there was no anchor, just a mess of tat and rubbish. I fell, not knowing where the anchor was. Now (2011) an actual anchor has been placed, a metre lower than the pseudo anchor where I fell. So this dog now magically morphs into an onsight. Yay me.

Smooth as silk. My only regret is not taking quickdraws for the 7c extension.

In sneakers

Up to do Tzatziki vikki

Amazing, long, absorbing...

First try today, and did it so nicely. I am stoked! [6]

35m pitch; we're getting full value out of our 60m rope! If you come to Kalymnos, a 70m rope is MINIMUM. And about 30 quickdraws too.

Fucked up the kneebar rest, juiced out

Tank hit empty 2 bolts from the top, gahhhh!

Fell reaching to pocket

Fell again, but spent the time and figured out the moves properly. Feeling a lot more positive now. It will go, just a question of when.

Sharp, Verdonesque gouetts.

Fell at the 3/4 point.

Awesome duelling tufa snakes. I felt like Steve Irwin.

Sam: "The best 20 I've ever been on"

The gear is now on. Incredible route.

First day fun. Mega amazing.

Thought it was 24, upgraded to 25, nice!
