Description

“Would You Like” is a single-pitch sport route, 40 m long, and among the most difficult and impressive lines of the Tower sector.
It climbs a vertical wall on small holds, combining precision, power, and perfect balance.
The movement is continuous and sustained, with no major rests, while the crux — midway through the line — is a delicate, technical sequence requiring body control and strong fingers.
The route has 7 bolts and a belay anchor (no lower-off ring).
The limestone is compact and reliable, with excellent texture and friction, giving the climb a pure aesthetic and psychological intensity.

Access

Located in the Tower sector, directly below the chapel of Saint Nicholas.
Access from Kryoneri via the main trail, clear and well-defined with a gentle final incline.
Would You Like lies on the left side of the cliff, close to Mosquito and Is it the Sun, Is it the Moon.

Approach time: 20 minutes

Recommended Equipment

60 m rope

8–10 quickdraws

Sling or cordelette for the anchor (no fixed ring)

Helmet

Chalk (essential)

High-precision climbing shoes

Small backpack with water (the line is sun-exposed at midday)
