| Lynton | 9 Oct, 2019 | AltLd O/S | My first multi pitch. We linked a few pitches as we had an 80m rope. The first few pitches are a little dull, but when you get up to the two 6a pitches you get a little more exposure and the climbing starts to pick up. A great beginner route with some fantastic views. |

Decided to do this on our "rest" day. Got lucky again, as there was only one other party and they had finished by the time we did the first three pitches. Linked ps.1,2&3. Then led corner p.7 (personal favourite on this route). I think Rob did the remaining pitches, but not sure how they were linked. Another great day out with minimal weight and no worries. Descent had now become a chore and I even switched the Hike function on my watch to see how long it is. It came up to 3.84km from top out to the On The Rocks pub and was done in 1h9m and that is with 15 min breaks in between! with robsway |

Find the famous finger-gluer on the way over to serve as the guidebook you forgot. Start by the painting of a chubby wheat sheaf. Punch the sharp rock at least twice before pitch 4. Sing tanglefoot above pitch 6. Squat out so much rope drag stringing 7 and 8 you top out looking like kim. Avoid the bird vomit before the final pitch. Eat 3 cucumber sandwiches. Descend in psychra and your best rave shirt. with TomMatthews |

First ferry over and first on the route. Took about 2 hours 40 mins to the top in 8 pitches. Led 1 and 2 combined, 5 and 6 combined then 8 and 10. Mike accidentally got the two 6a pitches as we didn't realise we'd combined 5 and 6 until there was some grumbling going on from Mike on pitch 7, he thought he was on a very stiff 5b pitch! Great route in an amazing location. The first 6a pitch is tough, second one is fine but can see how queues stack up if the crag is busy. After pitch 7 there's no chance to overtake and minimal space at the belays. Not crazy hot but still a relief to remove shoes at the top. with Mike-W-99 |

Led pitches 1/2 as one, followed by 5, 7, 9/10. Gemma took pitches 3/4 as one, followed by 6, 8 and 11 to top out seeing as is already had that privilege on Wild Country last year. I was glad not to have led the second 6a pitch and Gemma was glad not to have led the one I took so it worked out well (both of which felt harder than the crux pitches on Wild Country). The corner felt very awkward but is very satisfying once you find yourself on top of it. 50 minute walk in, 4hrs climbing and less than 2hrs after topping out we were back in Telendos for a cold beer. Not too hot, decent breeze and some goats in the cave that were putting all our climbing abilities to shame! with Gemmazrobo |

Led both 6a pitches. Got stuck behind a Russian party of 3 who were v slow. Decided against the overtake due to our poor Russian and their poor English ;) at least 7 hrs on the wall, hot day. The first 6a was burly and I missed a bolt in the excitement. Great feeling getting up it. 2nd 6a felt run out but I powered through. Pat's feet were killing him. Topped out tired and fearful of sunstroke! Found shade under a tree in an alien world of spiky bushes and limestone boulders. Shambled towards the monastery on tricky ground avoiding cliff faces. Found a good path and a kind French party gifted us some water (we were very thankful for that). 3hrs walk out followed by water, beer, ice cream and high 5s in telendos village. Superb adventure. My finest climbing achievement to date, I think. with Pat Sollom |

Came off on top rope on the 6a crux.
Route took 7 hours due to slow Russian climbers in front. 3 hour descend was brutal and we were very low on water. with Wanderlust |

I lead the easy pitches while Charlotte led the 6a pitches. I did have to use quickdraws to haul myself up at two particular points. This included the point where there is the overhang just before the end of the first 6a pitch and the point where there is a slight traverse along the second 6a pitch. Apart from this, all the other pitches were fun with some challenging moves. The feeling at the end was awesome! I cried a little bit. with Charlotte Perry-Houts |

Mega day out... awesome! Did it as a 3 on one 80m rope, leader tying into the middle and bringing up both seconds in guide mode. Unfortunately couldn't link any pitches or simul climb. Got the 7am ferry, and the approach took just over 1 hour, we were the first at the route with one other party an hour later. Climbing took 6 hours which isn't bad for all 11 pitches. Crux pitch is indeed a bit stiff, but really cool, and could suit either burly or techy climbers. Some other pitches higher up were 3 star for sure. The descent was a bit of a shitshow, and took several hours. The first half down to the church is pretty rough, and not to be underestimated. After the church it feels like a motorway by comparison. We took around 4 litres of water total and it was just barely enough, so pack a little extra. All in all it was a 10 hour round trip, a long one, but a good one... the beer and jump into the sea at the harbour was worth it. with Gareth, Slava |

| Paul Sagar | 26 Sep, 2017 | Lead dog | Hiked out of Telendos village at 5am. Found the route OK depsite being mobbed by mosquitos. Climbing was all going well: linked the first 6 pitches into 3, up to the crux pitch. Now I don't know if this had already lost holds on the layback - it felt hard for 6a - but as I put my left hand on a catch in the crack, when getting my feet high, the catch blew, and tried to slice off the top of my index finger with it. Emergency taping was done whilst hanging off the draws...and I dropped my chalk bag whilst trying to get my rucksack off. Managed to sort it all out - sorry about the blood everywhere, guys! - and ended up aiding through the crux. Some antiseptic wipes and superglue at the anchor rescued the situation, and we climbed on, topping out after 3.5 hours, linking all the pitches either side of the crux 6a. Good fun, despite the drama. Obviously I didn't pay close attention to the descent notes as always, and so the walk off ended up being three hours. (Who is the TWAT leaving decoy cairns on the top of Telendos, several different groups of which lead to ass nowhere?!) Oh well, all adds up to a nice mini epic. Type 2 fun, like most multitpiches in my life. |

Led 5 and 6 combined and 9. Andy did 1+ 2 combined, 7 and 10 and 11 combined. K did 3 + 4 combined, and 8. The first 6 pitches took an hour then the climbing starts. The 6a pitch has a very hard awkward move. The other 6a pitch is a lovely traverse. It should be less than an hour to the foot of the route. You need to scramble up a fair way and it is not well marked. Taking the boat doesn't really save time as you get dropped off via the north face to the two folk heading up to Wild country arrived at about the same time from the same ferry boat 30 euros lighter each. The walk is mainly a pleasant amble and a lovely start to the day. Definitely not as good a route as wild country though. The walk off starts to get tiresome in the heat with Andy Nisbet, K |

Blue paint dots take you all the way to the start. There is a book to sign at the top (in a tin behind a rock a couple of feet away from the last belay)although when we were there it was nearly full. The descent is marked by cairns. The first is near the top belay and if you keep walking straight on past it you'll see the second. Go to the top of the north face and turn right then after a while a cairn marks the way down.
The first half of the route is fairly broken but the top half earns its stars.
The resident falcons put on a superb display of flying. with Linda |

I lead pitches 1,3,5,7,9&11, Ben lead pitches 2,4,6,8&10. I lead both 6a's pitches cleanly. Amazing climbing, easier lower down but more difficult as you got up higher. The first 6a (pitch 7) has a funky arete style overhang rock to negotiate, not many holds and a little tricky. The second 6a is 200meteres off the ground with an exposed feeling and involves 2 tricky moves - one to move around and onto a big tufa block and the other to get up and past it. Great traverse climbing follows. An epic and memorable multi-pitch, a full day affair and a long and slow walk off at the end - it's only 1 1/2 hours but feels like a lot longer!!! with bsparky |

What a day!
Great route, we had tried to walk in and do it a few days previously but got lost so took a boat this time!
It was an amazing thing to do with Lottie - definitely going back for Wild Country next year! with Lottie T |

Climbed in 7 pitches in 2.5 hours, ascent No 595 according to the log book at the top. The first 6 pitches are short so we did them as 3. Then the next 3 as in the route description and ran the top 2 together. Loads of bolts so I clipped approx alternate ones or would have needed 30 quick draws! with Steve Goodman |

I led the 4th pitch. Struggled on the 6a sections, fell off the layback crack and french-freed and aided the traverse pitch - just get up it is my motto on a route like that! Superb, but a bit unbalanced, mostly grade 5 with a few hard moves. Started climbing at 9 and finished at 2:10. with Aidan Raftery, Dave Spencer |

| Pete Nugent | 12 Oct, 2011 | AltLd O/S | We were started climbing about 08.30 and were first on the route but closely followed by 2 teams from the Lakes. The first crux, was damp and tricky, when I came to lead it (especially with a rucksack) but dried quickly. The heavens opened as Si led the second crux. This is well bolted but even so was very tricky to lead & follow in torrential rain! An excellent route but the first 6 pitches are pretty easy. We were on top by 11.30 |

In 10 pitches - I led the odd ones, Carmen the even ones including both 6a pitches. The first 6a pitch was done French Free, the rest was clean. The 5b pitch after the traverse was out of this world!
Had the route to ourselves, the summit logbook showed we were the first to climb it for a week.
Warm and sunny for the climb, cloud started building as we approached the summit, the heavens opened just as we reached the coast path after the descent! with Lemming |

Great route, but sadly a party of THREE (from the UK, I'm ashamed to say) decided to rush to start ahead of us and then took pretty much forever to climb it - they were struggling on pitches we could fly up. The waiting became hours & a German couple tried to "push in" leading to a threat of intervention (ie. tying them off).
This should have been a great day out but instead we remember it for the wrong reasons.
Oh, I aided the crux move on the 6a pitch - so what? with Liz |

Excellent route: crux is a strenuous 6a layback; otherwise very pleasant climbing in amazing situations.
A rather slow party who'd raced to get on the route first marred the experience somewhat: couldn't they see they were causing a log-jam of teams below them?
Apart from waiting for them to finish faffing about, it meant the rest of us had to deal with a stroppy German couple preparing to climb over us on the crux. with Chris Michalak |
