Rockfax Description
After a rather nasty, polished slabby start, easier but superb steep blob climbing leads to a step left, where more testing moves are required. . © Rockfax

βeta: Pretty stiff for 7b in my opinion but a brilliant route! (perhaps 15 years of polish have made it harder?) Hard techy boulder problem off the deck then a long section of pumpy climbing with marginal rests and a few quite hard moves. Also quite run out for Kaly. hardly easier than Spartacus, if at all. | βeta? | |

βeta: Definitly felt well 7b for an old boy like me. Best and hardest redpoint I've done on the island. | βeta? | |

βeta: Although in hindsight the top half is quite easy, so maybe Alan is right. Anyway, more importantly, the route is bloody superb; go do it! | βeta? | |

βeta: Gladiator is never 7b. I can't understand why people think it is. We did it in the rain with huge seepage streaks and it just isn't that hard, has good shakes and no real crux. Compared to any 7b in France and it is miles easier. I think this route is indicative of the holiday-grades that many routes on Kalymnos suffer from. | βeta? | |
