[Trella 6c+, 3 kb]35m. One of the most amazing routes you will ever find up some incredible ground on outrageous rock formations. The climbing is relatively straightforward but the position is itimidating and the route is not to be underestimated. A 70m rope is needed to lower-off and the pitch can only be cleaned by someone following it, not as you lower off. Clear the deck of people before you climb it. Photo page 5. © ROCKFAX

Failed onsight, embarrassingly mostly because I found it exposed and slightly run out. Did it fairly easily on toprope to clean it.

Quite pumpy...good kneebarring helps. Tricky move under the former tufa.

Flashed having belayed Lisa on it, outrageously pumped at the top despite the many good rests.

Seconded (badly) 3 years ago, when the big stalactite was in place. On-sight lead (without the stalactite) on the same day as a clean lead of DNA. A great day!

Since big stalagtite fell off we thought it was worth 7a,be careful to keep right as a 7b+ shares the same bolt(not in the guide!) then heads off left into hard ground.AS of October 09.

Hidden - Lead O/S - Oct/05

pumpy and very atmospheric. Managed to do it even after getting myself into a hard position at the top to rest off before making the final moves. took ages to recover some strength to make the final scary moves.

Hidden - Lead O/S - Oct/04

One of my favourite routes on Kalymnos. Simply superb. Like 'swimming' through an overhanging sea of tufas, stalactites and other huge formations. Plenty of no-hands rests to get rid of the pump (and to enjoy the view!)
