Description
“Efaptomeni” is a three-pitch (~40 m each) route following natural slab and crack lines.
The first pitch is a technical slab with few bolts and placements for small friends.
The second pitch offers beautiful, continuous movement along a crack and ramp, while the third leads into easier terrain with a natural belay.
Protection is sparse, so experience in placing gear is essential.
The rock is of good quality and the climbing clean, with a sense of isolation and a wide view over the Gulf of Patras.
