Galatiani

In all our trips to Kalymnos, we never made the big hike up to the Galatiani cave, so today was the day. We got an early start and met Carl at the crag, and he showed us around. I flailed on a few things, and had the joy of finding a bat in one of the last holds on Nymfi, BUT... Chloe climbed her hardest route ever -- K44, 7a!






We also stopped by and bought honey from a beekeeper with bee boxes right next to the road

AMAZING honey

And I got a few photos out near Emporios
