Description

Big Shadow:
This sector is the “big wall” above the road between Kasteli and Arginonta

As the name suggests, a shady crag that overlooks Arginonta Bay. A crag that has been developed by the Remy brothers and is already attracting further development. Some routes start by a short scrambling section. Unfortunately this was omitted from the rebolting project in 2016 and some bolts are in urgent need of attention.

Other Sectors:
A choice of pleasant climbing on gentle slabs or short powerful overhanging routes.

The slabs for which the crag is popularly known are perfect for hot afternoons and beginners. Further back and up are Magoulias Wall and Ando Drom which has seen some new development and an expanded offer of climbs in the higher grades.
