Climbing Stage in Kalymnos

Kalymnos is a Greek island that has become one of the world's most famous climbing destinations, a true mecca for the sport. With dozens of stunning limestone crags, all easily accessible by scooter and offering unparalleled scenery, Kalymnos is not just about extreme difficulty and massive overhangs. Thanks to the tireless local bolters, over the years, numerous “no-big” crags have been developed, featuring hundreds of beautifully bolted routes suitable for all levels and preferences. Moreover, due to the vast number of sectors, the varied cliff orientations allow climbing in any season, even in the peak of summer. Last but not least, after each climb, it's a tradition for climbers to take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Dodecanese and enjoy a Mermizeli salad, a typical Kalymnian dish, along with an ice-cold Mythos beer at the Pirates' Bay. The stage includes routes starting from grade 5, with difficulty levels adaptable to participants’ abilities.
