Yes we went back!
After last year’s very nice climbing holiday in
Kalymnos we decided to go back again.
We always enjoy the Greek sun and warm conditions
in October. The only drawback are the huge climbing crowds during this period
and it looked that it has become worse. Nevertheless we found ourselves again
in less popular places where the rock is almost still unspoiled and sometimes we
even find remarkable nice routes at extraordinary places.
We had to start easy this year as San is still
suffering from a neck hernia and did not have much climbing training this year.
She said that she would do only top-roping this vacation. We started at Poets
and Zeus with some easy 5’s and 6’es where she quickly
started flashing the routes. She even on-sighted some routes.
Next days we drove with our tiny scooter to a
lot of places like Summertime, Rockland, Palionisos Redwall, The beach, Saint
Potis, Prophitis Andreas and again we went also to Telendos.
We saw their Van just standing outside Masouri in
which they travel around the south of Europe for one year. We decided to do
some climbing days together and we had great fun and enjoyed each other
company. The ladies where well trained now and were aiming for higher rates
routes, colognette and tufa overhang climbing. We
helped them getting some more experience in this during the following days, it
was great fun.
We will come back again.
