Description
The “Geka–Kottari” is one of the most historic traditional routes of Varasova, about 250 m long and divided into seven pitches. The line follows natural cracks, ramps, and small arêtes on the left end of the crag, offering continuous but moderate difficulty around 5b. There are no fixed protections, so the climb requires good skills in placing natural gear and building anchors on natural features. The rock is solid, with a pleasant texture and good friction, while the view from the upper pitches is truly impressive. This is a traditional, alpine-style route, ideal for those seeking an authentic Varasova adventure.
Access
From Kryoneri, follow the dirt road toward Agios Nikolaos, then take the path that leads left of the main sector. The route starts low, at the base of a distinctive ramp–crack, easily recognizable from the approach. The access is short and steady, with a small final uphill section.
Approach time: 25 minutes
Recommended Equipment
