Dear friends,

It's been many years since Climbincrete been out of dated. That was mainly due to been abroad for business for several years (7+). Climbincrete is getting up to date more and more now. Most of the routes on the web site are now up to date (around 70%). What is most missing are topos of some climbing areas/sectors. Having said that, is easy to follow most of those routes as nowdays most of them are sport and you can follow the whole line from the bolts.
I'm trying to climb as much as possible and then update the relevant sections with my personal experience. If I can't climb something, then I'm trying to get as much as possible accurate description from friends and the related mountaineering club. It will be more than welcome to send me over any comments/routes etc that you might have. Climbincrete, hopefully in the near future, will include most of the existing routes of the island, if not all. My target is to build an online guide, freely available for everyone who loves climbing and like sharing his/her passion and not keep it for himself/herself.

I would like to thanks all my friends who contribute in the past to Climbincrete and especially my friend Nana Koutsandreou.

Best wishes,
Stelios Asmargianakis

A major issue arrise a few weeks ago while we've been informed that all bolts bought from a Greek company called Rockland (www.rockland.gr) been problematic and need to be replaced asap. The problem has to do with its steel. We've already found in various places, including climbing areas, broken bolts from that company.

This is a major problem as hundread of bolts are already in place mainly in gorges available for canyoning.

Be aware to AVOID going to the following gorges until we sort out the bolt thing.

Cha or Xa gorge
Arvi
Portela
Ethiano
Amba
Boutsinou
Agiou Vasileiou
Mesonas
Chaugas
Lapathos
Kalami I
Kalami II / Panagia
Krua Vrusi
Kourtaliotiko
