As the title says, it would be helpful for some Kalymnos 6c recommendations. Soft touch is fine as I'm trying to get going at some but that's not really what I'm asking for - proper 6c is fine but I want to avoid nasty cruxes. I'm probably less of a thin (true) slab man nowadays and prefer some real holds.

Thanks for any help, if you can remember sports routes that well ....

A few I've enjoyed:

Remember Wadi Rum (6c)
Resista (6c)
Taz (6c)
Magma (6b+) (6c in the latest guidebook)

Surely a candidate for most dogged route at Kalymnos. There should be some kind of automated drone that fires random goats at would be ascentionists who don't complete the climb with an allotted limit...

Agree with Wadi Rum. In a similar vein there's one in the middle of secret garden whose name escapes me.

Ah - Frapogalo (6c)

Feta (6c)
I thought this was great, one of the best 6cs I've done.

Les Amazones (6c) was great when I did it in 2008 but was a little polished and might be worse now.

Anna-Maria at Arginonta is soft 6c in my view and another good route.

Most of the 6cs I've done are slabby, this being the exception- Ektor (6c)

Took me 2 years, you'd have run out of goats

A nice soft touch on Palionisos red walls is Max. Like a juggy Pembroke E2 with bolts.
The 1995 extension on Geriatrics is also pretty soft but needs an 80m rope.
Happiness on Ivory Tower could also fit your criteria.

Second that, such an amazing route.
