Description
“Widow” is an easy three-pitch trad-style route, about 120 m long, with only a few fixed protections (3 in total). The climbing is smooth and rhythmic, following slabs and ramps of solid rock with excellent grip. Moves are around 4b, making it ideal for beginners or for training in placing natural protection.
The belays are comfortable and easy to set, and the line follows a natural path with a beautiful view of the Patraikos Gulf.
