Description
“Poison” is a tough sport route graded 7b, 40 meters long, requiring technical precision and finger strength. It starts with delicate footwork and balance, followed by a vertical slab with small holds and continuous climbing without clear rests. The crux is about halfway up, on small positive crystalline holds and poor footholds. The rock is excellent — solid, with great texture. It’s a classic “climber’s line,” purely athletic, with perfect bolt placement and a full view of the crag.
Access
From Kryoneri, follow the well-known path toward Africana. “Poison” is located in the upper right section of the sector, near “Dalton.” The trail is clear and steady, with a final uphill section before the base.
