A large number of climbers from all over the world will participate in the Climbing Festival of Kalymnos that will take place on the Aegean island on October 5, 6 and 7.
This year’s program includes presentations, climbing lessons, deep water soloing, competitions, parties, live rock music, and a lot of climbing.
In the past 15 years, Kalymnos has established itself as one of the world’s top sport – climbing holiday destinations.
The Kalymnian landscape is rocky, with rock faces of unique quality for sport climbing, easily accessible within a few minutes walk from most of the island’s villages and motorways, offering breathtaking views with the endless blue of the Aegean Sea.
Today the island has almost 2,500 well equipped sport climbing routes for all climbing levels, from easy routes for beginners to extremely hard ones for the experts. The island features a series of easy slabs, technical wall climbs, wild overhanging and climbs between stalactites. The majority of the routes are single pitch but several multipitch routes are available as well.
