• Suggested itineraries for a one- or two-week rock trip around Greece
• Nearly 1700 selected routes in 29 sectors throughout Greece, including:

– Almyros, Pyli Little Gorge and Mouzaki, for “Kalymnos-style” climbing
– Hardcore sport crags Chatzouri, Alepochori and Kleisoura, in the Patras Area
– The solid, 917-meter limestone massif of Varasova
– Outstanding crags in the Peloponnese (Leonidio, Nafplio, Zobolo, Lagada and Nedousa)
– The Aegean islands of Anafi and Symi
– Three crags on the famous island of Crete (Voulismeno Aloni, Plakias and Tersanas Cave, also known as the “new Grande Grotta”)
– Crag highlights in the Athens Area—the only capital with so much quality climbing so close to the city.
Please note: “Greece Sport Climbing: The Best Of” does not include the crags of Kalymnos.
2013 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 31,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 11 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Sport Climbing at Pili’s little Gorge – Augoust 2013
some days ago, some friends of mine from Italy, joined Pili’s Little Gorge for sport climbing….after my recommendations about the beauty of the place!
Due to some unfinished and new jobs of mine, I had no time to spend with theme….but I finally found a day to meet theme and climb together…by surprise, I met also some Greek friends of mine….and had no alternative than doing some nice photos of theme, during climbing! Pili’s Little Gorge is one of the most beautiful places in the Central Greece for climbing…..and my friends from Italy agreed about that, in more they are thinking about their next climbing holidays to put it again in the schedule!

Climbing “Priapos” in Grande Grotta / Kalymnos island – climber Grazia Fenu – Beta Full!!!
…This is a sequence shooting last September, during The North Face Kalymnos Climbing Festival 2012, the first edition of the Festival. I was in my fixed ropes for covering some action photos for The North Face, and Grazia was climbing “Priapos” in the Grande Grotta cave, onsight, during her’s Marathon menu…
I thought to took only a few photos, but she was climbing so nice, a unique style, respect the line and in search for the best hold and rests…and this route has a lot of rests….it’s up to you to find them!…anyway…are about 100 photos in the sequence, and if you plan for an onsight of the route, maybe is better to avoid watching the photos,….elsewhere…if you want a redpoint….this is the best…Beta Full!!!!
if you want…you can watch them also in my facebook page…I hope you like it…!
