KATSOUNAKI GORGE

21 ROUTES, WILD SCENERY, CHALLENGING

Crag info

This crag is in the west end of Xerokampos. It offers beautiful climbing for more experienced climbers and experts. Routes often lead in overhangs and the climbing is very athletic. The crag is divided into 3 sectors: The Whale, South-west caves and Almonds. Thanks to this you can climb there all day long. There is always some piece of rock in shade. The yellow rock is something between limestone and sandstone, very pleasant for climbing: smooth, not sharp. Length of the routes is 13-30 meters.
