Description
The following information is from the Climbgreece.com website and I want to thank them for developing these sectors and for having this (and more) information available on their site.
The Hideout, a new sub-sector of the already-established crag Kapsala, is a beautiful, slightly overhanging red wall full of colonettes, tufas, pockets, and other features rising above a camouflaged narrow ledge over the Myrtoan Sea.
CLIMBING: One of the best crags in Kyparissi and beyond, with outstanding routes mostly on a red, slightly overhanging wall with colonettes. It’s hard to believe, but there are 30-meter-long routes with nearly all holds on colonettes and stalactites starting at just 6a.
JW Note: The route grades are those listed with the information I found regarding this sector. In general, I felt the routes were vacation graded and they may change as more people weigh in on MP

Getting There
APPROACH*: From Kyparissi, drive along the new road to Fokiano beach and Leonidio. Approximately 13km from where the road begins, just before the enormous parking area with the two oversized cairns of sector Kapsala, park on the side of the road (by an orange road sign approx. 50m before the large parking area). A small cairn marks the start of the trail. Walk down the very steep trail until you come to a section with fixed ropes and a small via ferrata. At the first portion of the via ferrata with metal rungs, there is also a fixed rope if you prefer to rappel down. (Note: as of March 2020 the rappel line looked too worn for our group to feel comfortable) Further along there are more metal rungs in the rock and fixed ropes to help you along the path, which continues to be steep and/or narrow throughout. Walking time: 15-20 mins.
- The approach is very exposed and it is for experienced climbers only. The approach and the crag are NOT suitable for families, children, or new climbers. Helmets must be worn at all times, including when you approach and leave the crag.
