This photo was taken during the 2nd day of the international climbing festival that was held in Kalymnos on Oct 2006. The unknown climber is fighting his way throught the beautiful 40 meter overhanging monster called "Aegialis" 7c+.

The monks are not particularly fond of climbers but then they are not fond of anyone...

Giorgos on the gem route of Mikri Varasova - Hemeea (Chemistry) 6b+

Just returned from a climbing weekend to the southern point of mainland Greece. A new crag at a superb location. Our gratitude to the route setters for organising this amazing place! On this shot Dimos climbing "the Economist"

Vrachokeepos (=Rock Garden) is one of the best crags around Athens.

Antonis about to reach the tricky crux of "Ermione" just as he gets tired. Beautiful climbing in the heart of Mount Taygetus, Sparta, Greece.

I have chosen not to spent the summer in the Olympics- crazed Athens. Instead, I returned to Chios, an island in the Aegean and my birthplace. Mavra Volia (Black Spheres) was the beach I used to swim and boulder on the scattered volcanic rocks

VP aka Ringwraith

Dimitris climbing '6'(?) on Petra Varibopis a historical crag and a quite popular climbing spot on the outskirts of Athens. The newly build "olympic village" on the backround.

Karave (=ship) crag, Athens Greece

Some people hate it. Others are addicted to it. Climbing in Meteora means scarcely placed bolts, few places for trad gear, and huge runouts. At the same time it means having a great view of one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Greece

Martina Cufar climbing on Sykati Cave, Kalymnos, Greece

Behold the left stalactite adorned wall of Grante Grotta, Kalymnos, Greece. To realise the size of the tufas check out the climbers at the base of the wall...

Last clip before the ancors on Aegialis.

We hiked all day in the fog and found this camping spot just before nightfall. When we arrived although we knew we were close to the 500meters walls of Astraka, we could not see any of it. With the first light I opened the door of my tent and faced the sheer might of the North Astraka walls...Photo taken at Mt Tymfi , North Pindus Ridge, Greece (yeah Greece..)

V climbing on the fantastic red wall of the newly discovered crag. The place is located in the most unlike of all places. A well hidden idyllic ravine near the industrial area of Aspropirgos, Athens, Greece.
