Greece-Kalymnos-Three Caves (Day 145)

P6064191

We headed out to Three Caves on Telendos. We could see the caves from across the bay and Anja really wanted to check them out.

P6064192

We started in For Telendian.

P6064195

I got on Little Fun 5b to warm up.

P6064197

Anja then got on Helene the Teacher 6b+.

P6064199

The rock quality seemed questionable feeling more like kitty litter than limestone so when it got really steep it was a little overly exciting.

P6064204

We moved on to Totem Pole.

P6064206

I got on Viva Fidel 6b.

P6064210

Which was really nice.

P6064242

And we did Odysseas the Donkey 6a+.

P6064246

We then moved uphill to Barbarossa and started on Summer Wine 6a+.

P6064255

Then got on Reginald 6a.

P6064261

And to save time top roped Regina 5c.

P6064202

The views from the area were great!

P6064266

Then got on Merinos 6a+ which had a really tricky traverse crux.

P6064218

While we were climbing we heard some goats behind us having a head butting war.

P6064267

We finished out with Titi 6a which had a super steep start.

P6064277

And then cruised to the top more or less.  Knowing our time we rushed down the trail and ran back on the shore to just catch the ferry back to Kalymnos which leaves on the hour and half hour.
