Description

Petalo currently consists of a handful of enjoyable single pitch routes and a couple multi-pitch climbs that follow the pillar and arete. It is located in the center right side of the main face.
Kokkinovrachos Main is the long and huge south faceing cliff that dominates the skyline to the north of Leonidio. It is divided into four sectors with additional multi-pitch routes available. Starting from the left you have Orama, Rocspot, Douvari and Petalo. Most of the routes here consists of a slightly lower angled sub-area of grey limestone (vs Orange/Red/Yellow steeper areas) in the middle of the huge cliff. Being lower-angled the climbs are of a more modest grade.
