MAP

A previously overlooked sector that is now seeing a fair amount of attention. Some good wall and slab climbs spread out in small sub-sectors across the base of the lower crag, with a longer walk to the upper cave (another 30min) which contains some steep routes in the cave itself and long wall climbs on either side. The upper cave has great views across to Telendos and is always quiet. New development of easier short routes taking place to the right, around the buttress. Across to the right of the route Port on the lower cliff is the 3 Ilots sector with a good number of low and medium grade slab routes on good quality rock that are getting popular. If you like multi-pitch don't miss the two big routes from local climber Claude Idoux which go to the top of the crag from this sector. Ever expanding there are new developments taking place below and left of rainbow wall with solitary routes on some areas left of the distinctive pillar which has 3 longer routes.
