Agiofarago: Sector 1
Area Info
This sector is located on the right side of the gorge as you're walking through the gorge with direction to the beach from the main path starting from the monastery of Odigitrias and not the one from Kaloi Limenes. It is the characteristic huge cave. Before the cave there is one more trad route under construction (around 5b+). Hopefully we will go back and finish the route sometime during the upcoming months. At the moment just the first pitch has been climbed (40 meters) and left a sling for belay. You can see a topo of the route on the next page of this article (page 2 link on the bottom of the page).

The following topo shows the first pitch of a traditional route (one pitch opened at the moment), opened from Nikiforos Tsixlakis and Stelios Asmargianakis many years ago. Due to both been abroad for several years the route is still under development. We will visit the area soon and finish the route. It will definetly give two more pitches at least. The route is located just a few minutes after entering the gorge on the right side. Feel free to open the rest of the pitches if you are in hurry
