Description
“Dalton” is one of the largest and most striking sport multi-pitch routes of the African sector. It features excellent-quality limestone, with six pitches alternating between technical slab moves, vertical sequences, and short power sections. The first pitches climb vertical slabs with good handholds, the middle ones offer more demanding 6b–6c passages, and the final pitch leads to an impressive summit overlooking the Gulf of Patras.
The bolts are well-placed without being overly dense, and the belay stations are comfortable and suitable for rappels. Good physical condition and experience in multi-pitch climbing are required.
