What you need to know when coming climbing in Kalymnos

Kalymnos is a location every dedicated climber must visit, so here we made a summarised video showing you what you need to know when coming climbing in Kalymnos. In this video we have the pleasure to introduce two very special guests. Aris Theodoropolous, who is the writer of the Kalymnos Guidebook, he is an activist here on the island and a man, who we can say so much more about. We have also met up with Claude Idox, who is the founder of the Kalymnos Rescue Team. The two will give you a brief how to stay safe on the island.
The presenting part of this video was filmed in Petra Boutique homes, we are huge fans of their accomodation and we recommend staying with them if you are going to Kalymnos!

That's an awesome video! And as a Greek myself, I really appreciate your humility and respect towards Kalymnos! I am coming back after living 6 years abroad and I cannot wait to visit Kalymnos.

Kalymnos really is amazing! It's a place where you go once and you just end up going back, even though there are so many new places across the whole world, it just draws you back again and again

Hi there, 👋
What would you do if you went to Kalymnos alone and wanted to meet fellow climbers to join???

[@kriss_niii8699]

but İ am not pro. can İ try

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Climbs upto 9b+? I have never heard of a 9b+ in Kalymnos. As far as I know, the hardest is a 9a (which is ofcourse already way to hard for almost everyone :-))
