first three bolts are hard, rest is easier.

noice!

At the slight overhang before the top go right. Topo book said this is 30m, was less than 25m when we climbed it.

A taste of climbing in the cave. view from the anchor made me happy

lead pitches 1,3,5, enjoyed. walking off was harder than climbing up - make sure to follow blue marks and piles of rocks.

holds aren't easy to spot

only two stars because holds are covered with salt :)

my first Kalimnos route ^^

felt sketchy

probably feels nicer when all holds are dry...

nice one - there's a bit of everything on the way up!

liked it very much!

first trad lead!!!

maybe it is a 6b+ if you don't use the ledge on the right.

regretted not reading start sequence (up to 3rd bolt) before climbing

a versatile route! one extra bolt would be nice on top of the pillar

tree leaned on me once or twice :)

2nd or 3rd session, first bolt preclipped. nice one!

2nd go, mental rollercoaster

hard to read

sitstart felt hard to figure out and to do, maybe because i'm tall. 6B+ route on the same sector felt much easier than this :)

forearm-heavy

might be morpho between 1st and 2nd bolt

very pleasant route!

morpho, is easier if you're tall

2nd go, awesome route!

3rd go, bouldery indeed

weird and hard for a 5+

maybe partially bolted instead of traditional - there are two bolts but no anchor at the end of the topo line.

what the hell is this grading... it only made me mad

pleasure indeed

with such a footwork-heavy start it should be at least 5+, if not a 6a IMO

while on topo this route goes straight up, on the crag it actually went a little bit to the right. also don't repeat my mistake and stick to the right instead of using the tempting ledge between 3rd and 2nd last bolts.

might look like it needs cleaning, but it does not :) at least from top rope perspective

My first outdoor 6c! Couldn't find the beta myself, so had to steal it :3

swapping leads, p1&p2 TR, p11&p12 lead

three-season journey came to an end today, sooo good

didn't like it, imo too height-dependent

awesome!

rope got stuck in the crack near 3rd bolt when pulling it down after rappeling- be careful

5th or 6th go

first route at Nalkkila for me - felt veeery strange

screwed up onsight by grabbing the anchor chain instead of clipping the rope :(

Significant rope drag in the second half of the route, the only anchor visible at the top had only two bolts without any chain/rings between those. Maybe not the intended anchor for this route. And had much "fun" rappeling all the way down collecting quickdraws :) Maybe multipitching from intermediate anchor would be a better idea/experience.

scary af but didn't slip between 2nd and 3rd bolt :)

Between 2nd and 3rd clip moved a bit to the right instead of climbing straight up - have to give it another go.

Some holds were wet, used artificial holes.
