North East
Arginonta Valley offers a good variety of route styles from easy slabs to athletic overhangs. The north to north-east orientation of the wall makes it a very popular choice for climbing during summer and autumn. During peek season, be prepared for big crowds.
Compared to other sectors it doesn't look as impressive, but it's still more than worth a visit and there are some hidden gems. For example, 'Idoine' might be one of the islands best 6a's.
Approach
Ethic inherited from Kalymnos
- PREPARE to leave nothing behind (trashbag, etc).
- Use your own gear for toproping. Use fixed gear only for lowering. (See first section of guidebook for details.)
- Minimize single-use plastic. No recycling on the island (yet).
- Use established paths and close gates behind you.
- Consider a donation to the rescue team (red boxes).
