Description
Skiadianiko is a large, mostly south-facing wall with three differently distinct sectors. Skiadianiko Left is chock full of lower angle slabs on dark gray rock. Skiadianko Cave (Center) is loaded with the stuff you probably came to Leonidio for...steep, featured climbing on tufas, blobs and stalactites. Skiadianiko Right is a good mix of the left and center sectors--some slabby stuff, some featured stuff.
The sectors in this area receive sun most of the day. The cave and the right side of the right sector have some morning shade.

Getting There
Drive out of Leonidio towards the Elona Monastery for about 20 minutes until you cross the valley on a stone bridge. Just a short distance after the stone bridge, look for a few parking spots near a small shrine. (37.149276, 22.768332). From the parking, walk a very short distance further on the road to a trail with concrete steps leading down into the canyon. Cross the canyon bottom and continue on the great trail up to the crag. The first area you'll encounter is Skiadianiko Right.
