Location
BOAT: Most climbers seem to pay for the direct boat for 10 euros/person, which drops you off close below the cliff. You still have to do the same elevation gain of 450 ft, but only in 0.4 miles rather than 1.5 miles. You can also pay for the 3 euro/person boat and then walk the 1.5 miles. The first boat ride was at 7:00 AM as of Oct 13 and runs supposedly till midnight.
Located between Crystal Cave and Crescendo sectors. At about 30 minutes from the goat gate locate Crescendo and hike up to the base of the buttress coming down its left side. Hike up next to the buttress until you locate the route.
Don't forget a photo as a lot of the coast looks similar.
To descend walk off down the North side. From the top of the route walk North to a saddle above the cliff band forming the North Face. From here hike right (East) above the cliff until you locate a carined trail leading down a vegetated slope. As you descend watch for a small white church on the ridge line as you will need to follow the trail to this church. From the church a nice trail leads to the shoreline and then head right down the shoreline back to the town of Telendos.
Protection
Well protected with bolts with bolted belays
With a 70: I recommend you take a few extendable draws and skip some bolts to link pitches 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 8&9
With a 60m, you can link…
- P1-2, super easy, decent amount of rope left, easy comms
- P3-4, beware of rope drag, skip the final ~3 bolts of P3 and the first ~3 bolts of P4 and that’ll prevent your rope from cutting right and then left (those bolts are all on super easy terrain). Tougher to communicate.
