5-day rock climbing trip in Kalymnos

Kalymnos, located to the west of the peninsula of Bodrum, between the islands of Kos and Leros, is the ideal venue for all rock climbing levels. The different styles and the top-quality limestone are worth the detour. It is very unique to be able to climb steep, overhanging routes and “Tufas” in the 5 and 6a level.

Fueling up with the sun & sea before the real summer is a real bonus. It’s a true re-boosting trip !

The highlights of these 5 days are the following
– It’s for all levels of climbers, it’s very diversified, from easy to more difficult walls
– The walls are easy to reach from the place where we stay
– Climbing along the sea procures an unique feeling
– We experience there a real holidays atmosphere with sun, sea, good food…
– There is a real climber’s community, it’s not about the grade but sharing a same passion.

I usually organize several climbing trips a year in Kalymnos and some of the weeks are sometimes dedicated for women.

The objectives of these climbing trips are the following:
– Improving your self-confidence;
– Learning about techniques & tactics;
– Learning about safety and rescue scenarios;
– Sharing experiences and meeting other climbers;
– Having a fun and climbing without pressure.

Duration
5 days of climbing/coaching. The length can be adapted based on the time you have.

Level
Seconding grade 4c/5a is the minimum requirement. No leading requirements.
