 The 4th International Rock Climbing Festival of Kalymnos wound up on the 26th – and what a fabulous time it had been for all! Already the route setters are looking for a 9a+
... Already the climbers who were on the crags these memorable five days are booking for their Autumn trip –
that is, those who have left at all. Because quite a few have extended their stays, well after the Fest.
Sorry Emmanuelle, sorry Jens, apologies to all of those who wanted to and couldn’t...

Climbers of all abilities and from all countries are welcome to attend the event. As described on the website of Climbing magazine, the island of Kalymnos has incredible limestone routes of all difficulties, both single and multi-pitch, at a variety of angles from delicate slabs to super-steep caves covered with stalactites.
A majority of the routes are based around the village of Massouri with approaches ranging from 5 to 20 minutes.
