Description Suggest change

Cave climbing up above the Aegean Sea. Routes on the left side are generally vertical with some fun features, pockets and edges. The route, Zeus, alone makes the hike to Theos Cave worth it. Definitely much more potential for routes in the cave. 

The routes on the left side of the cave can be climbed in the rain if you and your belayer scramble up ledges left of the starts of the routes and belay below the second bolt on the routes. The area receives sun all day so it's best avoided on sunny hot days.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the approach directions for the main Theos area. After passing Theos Pillar, hike another minute until you're below the cave. Scramble up fourth class blocky terrain marked with red painted dots to access the cave.
