Description

“Hufterman” is a single-pitch sport route, 40 m long, and one of the most powerful and demanding lines in the Tower sector.
The route follows vertical limestone on small, sharp holds, demanding finger strength and precise foot placement.
The climbing is continuous and pumpy, with no real rest points; the main crux comes at about two-thirds height, combining dynamic movement and balance.
It has 10 bolts and a belay station without a ring.
The rock is compact, clean, and highly textured, providing excellent friction.
Hufterman requires strong physical endurance and composure, as it is a true power-endurance test — challenging both body and mind.

Access

Located in the Tower sector, below the chapel of Saint Nicholas, accessible from Kryoneri via the main climbing trail.
Hufterman lies in the central part of the sector, close to A Muerte and Batman Direct.
The approach is clear, stable, and short, with a gentle final incline.

Approach time: 20 minutes

Recommended Equipment
