| Arriving on the island |
I didn’t have many
expectations towards climbing in Greece. I surely didn’t think it was going to
be as relaxing as it ended up being. For 20 euros a night, we found a luxurious studio
by the sea, like all the other astounded rock-climbers. The accommodation also
came with access to a nice roof-top pool. As if the sea wasn’t enough, our slice
of paradise just happened to be located in front of what is probably the most
photographed climbing crag in the world. We sat at the Grande Grotta’s feet.
On my third day, I was
climbing a line that required my middle finger to pull through a perfectly
shaped mono-pocket. As I thrusted myself upwards, I felt a sudden burn in my
middle finger. My tendon had just ripped one of my pulleys. Sadly that was it for projecting. On the
other hand, I got to spend more time at the beach or walking around taking
pictures.

I discovered a
welcoming Island with more climbing family’s than I had seen anywhere else. I
took the time to appreciate every single sunset we were offered. By the way,
the sunsets on Kalymnos are seriously mind-blowing. It feels like a dream,
every time. We had a kitchen with some of the best olive oil. We cooked meals
with a smile on our faces and ate the food like it was our last day on earth.
Here's a special thanks to the friends we made! (Daniel, Joanna, Kristian & Tadziu)
