βeta: Another 'strange' location with sensational looks, but several drawbacks. First the approach description. Dont follow that. Follow this: Take new road to Kato Zakros and park roadside by the Access B sign on the left (2km from Zakros). An obvious dirt trail (red marks) leads easily down to the gorge in 10mmins. Cross the riverbed at the base, and take a left onto the well-marked E4 trail. In less than 5mins cross back right over the river bed (poorly markedly, small cairn , and lots of red dots). Follow red dots (with diffculty) as the trails weaves up the slope and traverse around to the obvious wall (fixed rope above the first routes), in 15mins. As regards the route, the grade is well off (5+?), hardly 3 stars, and the LO is super corroded. We were tempted by the 6c, but not without a lid (the rock is only giben an impression of being 'solid'), and much less keen having seen the massive undercut blob feature before the crucial bulge... | ||
