Climbed as a 3, finished in 5.5 hours. Wind speed about 60 km/h with gusts up to 90 km/h. Top pitch felt like a wind tunnel with the quickdraws all pointing up into the sky from the wind.

Super enjoyable but long day with Wings for Life as well. Seconded this one with the other boys joining several pitches together for some lovely, long picturesque climbing in 20+ degree weather

Hidden - AltLd - 27/Apr/12

Lead P2,P4,P6,P8. Lead the reach for Glory 6a+ pitch and got the crux but then had to rest above that. Only rest on the route tho. Hard with a sack on the back loaded with both climbers food, gear, water, and shoes. Much better and more sustained the Wings for life
Simon Holden (LCandCC) - AltLd dog - 27/Apr/12 with Charlotte Goedvolk

Boat 2euro to Telendos village, lovely walk-in (45 mins?), perfect day as no slow parties on the route. Took 3 hrs 20 swinging leads. Crux "reach for glory" pitch hard is you are short (I'm not) or have a rucsac on your back (I did). Just fantastic!
Phil Murray - AltLd O/S - 20/Apr/12 with Steve Wright

boat to base of crag ~10 euros each, 20 minutes to base of route ( not the beastly approach idescribed in the book) 3 hours to top out. :)belay at end of pitch 6 (crux pitch) is way out left. ascent number 266 apparently. Walk off is long!
