Description
“Calydonian Boar” was opened in April 1999 by A. Theodoropoulos, Th. Michailidis, and P. Kotronaros.
The line is densely bolted, even on the easier sections, making it an excellent choice for new climbers or climbing school graduates.
The 1st pitch ascends diagonally to the right on a slab with sharp rock.
The 2nd pitch is the most beautiful of the route — the first 10 m follow an older variant of “The Road of Flowers”, then continue up lovely inclined slabs.
The 3rd pitch keeps the same style as the second but is easier.
Only quickdraws are needed, though a few nuts can optionally be placed between bolts.
With 60 m ropes, the 2nd and 3rd pitches can be linked into one long pitch (barely).
Descent is via two rappels down the route: 55 m from R3 to R1, and 30 m from R1 to the ground.
