KALYMNOS – A guidebook to the worldclass sportclimbing on this Aegean island

This new Rockfax guidebook will cover all the climbing in the usual Rockfax
style – huge phototopos, big maps, inspiring action photos and bang up-to-date
as well.

Kalymnos must be one of the world’s best known sport climbing destinations and
with good reason – friendly locals, glorious weather, a picturesque Aegean
island setting and, of course, the truly fantastic climbing. There is
approaching 3000 climbs at the last count and many of them are of impeccable
quality.

Climbers from all over the world now visit the place and its reputation has
grown into a ‚must visit‘ venue. There are many fantastic harder climbs but
there is also a remarkable assemblage of high quality climbs in the ever-
popular 4a to 6b range.

During the summer of 2018 some of the routes on the island had the name painted at their base changed.
The process is ongoing and further changes may be added. The end result was made more confusing
by recycling names on the same crag which has made it slightly more dangerous especially in one case
where what was the name of a short route, is now the name painted under a much longer route.
Identifying the climbs from the names at these crags is now more difficult and as a first resort you are
advised to use the topo to identify the line. The changes we are aware of are summarised in this PDF:

Topo Version – The last three pages of this PDF are full page print-outs of the worst effected crags which
you can insert directly into your guidebook.
