Crag features
The north-east side of the canyon. It is on the left when you go from the village of Xerokambos along the regular path.
This crag lies in the upper part of the Gorge and is north-east oriented. It is on the left side when you go from the village of Xerokambos along the regular path. The north-east side of the canyon is in the shade in the afternoon. So the best time for climbing during the summer months is after 1 p.m. However, in more north-oriented sectors, you can climb earlier ( the Red Rock and the Kókkino Vrácho sectors).
The height of the crags is between 30-70 meters. There are only opened projects right now. It is a quite new area for climbing. You can find here both multi-pitch and single-pitch routes ( up to three pitches). There are many possibilities for new routes.
Regarding guide book: There is no printed guide book right now ( January 2020). However, we have a lot of information on www.climcrete.com. Also, we run our Facebook group and page ClimbCrete. https://www.facebook.com/groups/climbcretegroup/ Join us.
Approach notes
The easy way how to get to the canyon is to use a regular path from the Xerokambos. It takes you 50 minutes to get to our sectors "Red Rock" and "Kókkino Vrácho". The second possibility is to go with a car above the canyon and descend to the canyon from the top. In this case, you park two kilometers before the village Hametoulo ( road from Xerokambos to Ziros). Go along the yellow mark from the parking lot to the canyon. This route takes 15 minutes. However, there is at least one difficult place where you have to abseil down eight meters. There is a fixed rope installed. Be aware that you are descending in a highly protected area ( Natura 2000, archeological site).
No Access Issues
If you go from the parking above the canyon ( parking No 2), you go through a highly protected area ( Natura 2000 and an archeological spot). Be aware of this. Take all your waste with you. Go along the yellow-marked path.
