Local Freezer

There are several new crags on the island of Telendos, but most require a bit a of walking.  and since it has been really hot, we were hoping to get there by boat.  Unfortunately, we couldn't' find anyone else that wanted to take the boat with us, and didn't want to spend 60 euros.  Instead, we went to the local freezer crag, which had a beautiful 6c to warm up on called 'Nostalgia'.  Next, we got seriously sandbagged on a new route, which a Norwegian told us was 6c+ but was actually 7b+!  Next, close but no cigar on the insight of Philotimo.  I really should have taken a look at the route to find the giant bucket after the roof.  Next, on to Magoulias wall where Chloe did Nicolas and Fotini.  I also managed to fall off Sabina, but lowered off and did it clean.  Embarrassing!  On the way down we ran into Aris, Katie and crew with their climbing school at the Summertime crag.  From there, it was back to the studios (where our neighbors wake up at 5:00 in the morning to sweep and do various other things.  Nice) and then to Linaria for food and a dip in the Aegean.  I went down to Armeos to fly the choppah and got a few nice shots, amidst much excitement from passers-by.
And then… a nice sunset!
