Description Suggest change

Awesome long route on the south side of Telendos. Kudos to the team that put this route up, as they clearly put a lot of effort into cleaning it up and bolting it well (glued titanium, well placed, and well spaced). All of the belay stations are comfortable and the view is to die for. It's also possible to rappel the entire route, however it's going to be safer to walk off as there may be parties below (lots of loose rock off of the route that could be dislodged from rappelling). Some pitches can be combined, but it's best to do the short last pitch at the "Goat Hotel" separately to avoid rope drag and for ease of communication. The only challenging pitch is the first one, and you're pulling crux moves with bolts at your waist. The other pitches, although easier, are quite enjoyable. If you want an adventure, do this route!  

Location Suggest change

Head towards Inspiration then go upslope at a split marked by three yellow dots. Further yellow marks and cairns bring you to a fixed rope on a small slab. Continue up to a tree at the base of the cliff where more fixed lines with an easy traverse left to the large pedestal at the base of the route. From Telendos village, Prometheus is the prominent pillar that dominates the skyline before Inspiration. The hike  to the climb will take about 45 minutes. The return hike follows yellow marks and cairns over the top of Telendos and down the north side toward the chapel of St. Constantine. The hike back took over an hour, but was quite enjoyable. 

Protection Suggest change

Bolts. 16 draws and simple anchor gear will suffice.
