[Hide Comment] Very easy until the crux near the top. Kind of hard to read it, but not bad once you start pulling. Dec 27, 2012

[Hide Comment] One of my favorites on the island. The top bolt is hard to clip (nice to have a longer draw installed there). The top is easier if you knee-bar on the right side of the fin (rather than staying left of the fin on the chalked holds), then move left to the anchor. Dec 1, 2017

[Hide Comment] Could have been the flash pump, but I didn't think RWR lived up to the hype. Awesome tufa pulling but the feet felt relatively slick for Kalymnos climbing. Don't miss the lounger rest to the right. May 8, 2018

[Hide Comment] The anchor on this route is very worn out as of January 2024. TR off your own gear, and we even chose the rap down instead of lower. Jan 7, 2024

[Hide Comment] Hardware seemed new at the top as of November 2024.

Tricky/stout feeling crux at the top for Kalymnos 6c. Nov 28, 2024
