Daedalus

5.9+, Sport, 320 ft (97 m), 3 pitches,  Avg: 3.3 from 6 votes
FA: unknown
International > Europe > Greece > Meteora > Doupianifels

Description

Like many routes at Meteora, there are multiple ways to ascend the cobbles so an exact grading can be tough. This line is on the north side of Doupiani. P1 begins on a nearly vertical wall and trends left to a double bolt anchor. P2 is mostly flat scrambling to a steep short face with smaller pebbles (requiring more slab technique) and another anchor. P3 is a short easy scramble to anchors at the top.

Location

North side of Doupiani: notable for the fact that P2 skirts a cave with the remains of a byzantine monestary. You can easily scramble over to check out the remains or, as we did, lower the second from the P2 anchors. Not to be missed!

Protection

Bolts to anchors. This climb is a very safely bolted line: the bolts are hard to see, but become obvious as you go. Great intro climb.
