Description

“School Ridge” is one of the best-known training routes in the Broken Rocks area.
With a length of about 120 m and three pitches, it offers gentle climbing on ramps and slabs of solid rock with low difficulty (4b).
The few fixed points (4 in total) are easily supplemented with friends and nuts.
Belays are comfortable and secure, making the route ideal for climbing schools or for practicing multi-pitch techniques.
The rock has excellent friction, and the route features mild exposure with beautiful views over the Patraikos Gulf.

“School Ridge” is located on the left side of the crag, near the routes “Widow” and “Road of Flowers.”
The path is clear and stable, with a short final ascent to the base.
