Ascents in Kastritsa as various tick types

A lot of plants and some loose rocks. But nicely in the shade while belaying

Another beauty , same here hard start and then easier finish , hard 6b+ almost 6c .

hard..

Mega classic...choss, i edited both routes cause they are so close that its really like climbing both , really bad bolting. The first part is absolute choss and dirty (the kind of dirt that doesnt go away), the second part is massif and interesting but in order to get there u have to pass through hell. If it was my call i would avoid bolting these "lines".

Saw and cleaned the crux and fid dome moves. Same start and end with romilos, midle part gives the grade ,boulder problem on small holes and sloppy features on overhanging terrain . Very beautiful.

Just barely managed to clean the first part and crux before freezing.

Cleaned the rest. It all comes down to a hard middle boulder problem on sloppers with no feet.

Finally was able to do the crux, so good to see improvement. It all comes down to a very small crimp that last year didn't seem as a hold and bad sloppers with foot off. A Chicky kneebar with kneepad helped a lot.

This one i lost it at the last move.

Another oldie but with very beatyfull bouldery moves off foots and toe-heel hooks , went to clean it cause the conditions were very humid. Cleaned it (used to be a jungle, the anchor still is next time..) but still some parts were wet , the beatyfull dynamic crux was ok so i read it and did it . The bolting is old style and a bit "macho", but what a luxury to have such a route 15 min from work-house...

4 attempts in total , first attempt read the moves and cleaned all the way (even the anchor which was a joungle now seems like a sport route) . Then tried but lost focus at the crux and did stupid misteakes . At the last attempt passed the crux and didnt had power left to do the last part , nextime.

Im very glad we cleaned these routes , beatyfull gym like moves . Was too tired to send (fourth day of climbing).

after heavy rainy days today was almost ok , this one was wet at the top but i lost it before, it seems that after 3 days of indoor training including a fingerboard session u get pumped quickly .

Foot slipped. So nice route. Nicer in the end now going direct to its own anchor.

Cleaned and saw the first part, hard tension boulder start.

Saw and did almost all moves needs more cleaning in the upper part and 2 bolts need repositioning.

Replaced some bolts at better places and added one. Cleaned it all and did most moves. Now need to wait for the holds to dry from the humidity after cleaning but seems harder than what i first thought.

Cleaned some more and found some easier beta. Will have to see how it feels all linked.

Started cleaning this short beauty. Tufa wrestling start.

Started cleaning this one saw and did most moves of the first part.

Just went bolt to bolt to check it,3d roof climbing crux on not so good features seems doable.

Raining for days here, nearby cave with small but beatyfull routes and most of them remain dry even on rainy days. This one was the least wet. Hard route that goes through the whole cave . Did till the permabent draws of the roof which seemed like 6c+.

beatyfull first part , tried it twice, harder than 6c but getting there.

2 shots today to reach the fifth and last draw before the permanent ones of the roof (anchor of the first part) ,steep cave climbing with beatyfull moves on small tufa and crimps , getting better..

Did the first part till the crimp after the 4 draw which may be a good 6b+/6c warmup after that becomes very hard plus is very dirty.

Arrived and saw the crux, beatyfull steep (off foot) tufa climbing with a big tufa hanging of the roof. hard for the grade .

The big tufa was wet but the rest was almost ok.

Did the first 3 draws freely and fell at the crux .

The weather was better today but there was alot of humidity.
