Description

“Mosquito” is a single-pitch sport route, 40 m long, equipped with 12 bolts and a lower-off ring.
The line follows compact, vertical limestone with small positive holds and precise, technical sequences.
The climbing is dynamic and continuous, with few rest points, while the crux — located in the upper third — demands accuracy and finger strength.
The rock quality is excellent, typical of the Tower sector, and the bolting is dense and reliable.

A benchmark 7c in Varasova, Mosquito is a popular choice among experienced sport climbers looking for pure endurance and precision.

Access

From Kryoneri, follow the main trail leading to the Tower sector, beneath the chapel of Saint Nicholas.
Mosquito lies in the central section of the cliff, between Butterfly and Is it the Sun, Is it the Moon.
The trail is clear and stable, with a short final approach.

Approach time: 20 minutes

Recommended Equipment

60 m rope

12–14 quickdraws

Helmet

Chalk (essential for small footholds)

High-precision climbing shoes
