Description

Located among the Dodecanese Islands, off of the western coast of Turkey, in the Aegean Sea, Kalymnos is home to some of the best rock climbing in the Greek islands!

Over the course of our week together, we will explore as much of this mountainous island as we can, making numerous incredible ascents up excellent limestone walls. We will have 5 days of climbing during the week.

There are a variety of options for different climbing all over the island, ranging from beginner climbs to much more challenging ascents. Sport climbing is especially popular here as the island boasts a multitude of excellent routes.

Each day, we will head out to a different point on the island and ascend a steep wall or unique rock formation. Regardless of where we head, we’ll be able to enjoy incredible ocean views from the top.

When we’re not out on the rocks, there will also be plenty of time to check out the beaches and swim in the turquoise-blue water. The island is also known for its excellent wine and seafood, which we will have the chance to sample at the end of each day

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 7-day rock climbing trip on the beautiful Greek Island of Kalymnos!

Mountain Guide

Hi! I'm Renato, IFMGA guide from the Dolomites, and I work together with my colleagues Robert, Patrick & Walter (German speaking), Paolo, Matteo and Davide.

If I'm not available to guide you, one of them will take care of you.

I was born in 1961, I live in Campitello di Fassa, in the Dolomites, together with my family. I have two sons, one is a mountain guide, the other is a ski instructor. I am a certified mountain guide since 1982, an instructor of guides, alpine ski instructor and a Federal coach for ISEF.

Being in the mountains has always been my passion, guiding people, teaching them climbing, mountaineering... during the various seasons of the year. I very much enjoy drawing nice curves in fresh powder snow and discover the charm of the frozen waterfalls.

My curriculum and professional mountaineering is made of many ascents and some openings of routes in the Dolomites and the Alps. I climbed in Yosemite Valley (California), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Norway, Greece, Spain and Sardinia. I did also several high altitude climbs like Mt Denali (Alaska), Ama Dablam (6828m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Manaslu (8163m), Shivling in India (6545m), Cotopaxi and Chimborazo in Ecuador (5897m and 6310m), Patagonia (Argentina).

Feel free to get in touch with me if you are coming in the Dolomites for skiing (alpine, freeride and ski touring), rock climbing, sport climbing and multi pitch climbing. It will be my pleasure to guide you here and let you discover my secret spots.

Raquel

My husband and I climbed with our guide Patrick. Prior to our climb he communicated answering any of my questions. He was knowledgeable, safe, listened to our needs and ensured we had a great day! Thank you, Patrick!

Thomas

Roberto took myself and my wife on the Sass de Stria route after assessing and deciding that the weather was too bad to do our chosen route. Roberto was a great guide would highly recommend

Tania

Benny was friendly, made us all feel comfortable, and took plenty of photos for us. We all had a great time, and if we come back to the Dolomites we would definitely book again.

Alex

Despite a booking conflict, Robert and the company were very accommodating and helpful in making sure that we were still able to have our guided trip in the Dolomites, which ended up being the perfect mixture of ease and challenge, and oh my! the sites were something to behold... we haven't stopped thinking or talking about it since (and it's been a week)! We would absolutely come back again, and if we manage to, will certainly get in the touch with Robert and the company!

Amber

Its always been my dream to be able to complete a Via Ferrata! Thanks to my wonderful guide Robert, he helped me complete this dream. He was optimistic, fun, and very thorough when it came to the hike, teaching me basic moves, and on the actual climb! Thank you again so much!
