Telendos again!

Another Telendos day, this time with Carl!

We started out at Pescatore, where I flailed on OTR (went left instead of right -- oops), then flashed Y viva Pancho Villa and we pretended not to her the bickering American climbing couple.

and then we moved on


to the spectactular Eros crag. I fought like hell to get the flash of Adonis, but blew the crux, and then suffered through the sharp upper section. Then, on to Aphrodite, which was nice enough. And then... Panagia, which is the most desperate 7a+ I have ever been on. I took a few big falls on it but eventually thrutched my way up. Terrifying



By this time, it was almost boat time (you tell the boat captain when to pick you up, after negotiating with other climbers!). We shuffled down the trail and watched the other people climb at IROX and concealed our smirks at the by now overt fighting American climbing couple, having a bit of a time on Helvetix. Next, a boat ride back to Kalymnos

And dinner at Aegean! Carl hung out for beers.
