Excellent crag with many good sports routes, commanding great views over the Akamas peninsula and Lara bay. Reaches a height of 40m in places and some of the routes require two pitches. |
Directions: | Starting from Ineia, pass through the village heading west. Pass the coop bank and coffee shop on the right, and at the three way crossroads take the middle road. At the junction bear left and head out of the village. Continue for about 1km (passing a road sign-posted to Droushia on the right). After the road starts to descend, two small roads appear on the left. The second leads to the army base and is guarded by "strictly no entry" signs. Take the second of the small roads (with the no-entry sign!) and continue for about 500m. Just as the road bends left to head for the camp, take the small track (easily missed) on the right. If you have a good 4-wheel vehicle then you can follow the track to its end at the top of the crag. Alternatively park at the entrance to the track or continute down the track and park on the left half-way along before the it starts to descend. |
Aspect: | Faces North-east and north-west. North-east face (containing the easier routes) gets the sun until after mid-day. In mid-summer it remains in the sun until around 3PM except under the big overhang. North-west face gets the sun from around mid-day onwards. |

Notes: | Its elevation of around 600m and North/East and North/West facing aspect makes this a good summer choice. |

1 Alexandros F6a 15m |  |
Interesting start leads to easier ground. |
2 Monaxiko Pnevma F5a 20m |  |
Tricky move quarter of the way up leads to easier climbing above. Take care with rope drag at the top. |
3 Vasiliko Pronomio F6a+ 20m |  |
The difficult moves at the second bolt are slightly easier on the left. Good balance helps. |
4 Proti Epafi F5b 13m |  |
5 G.A.P F5c 15m |  |
Good route and tricky for the grade. |
6 Dhilimma F5b 16m |  |
7 Irmos F4 10m |  |
8 Kondi F4 20m |  |
Nice introduction to the crag. Originally short (thus the name) but now much longer. |
9 Agnoumenos F4+ 12m |  |
Another nice slab route. |
10 Eleana F5a 16m |  |
Yet another nice route. |
11 Pare Me F5b 17m |  |
Difficult move high up. |
12 Frixos F5b 17m |  |
Great route up the steep corner. Feels like a trad route (and it was once!). |
13 Andreas Prodromou & Haris Haralambous F5c 15m |  |
Another great route up the edge of the overhang. |
14 Kathodigitis F6a 17m |  |
An even better route than the previous two. Very steep at the top, but huge bucket holds compensate. |
15 Nomos Varititas F7a 15m |  |
The huge overhang it taken direct at its biggest span. Originally done as a traditionally protected route, which must have been fun (!) |
16 Kanourgia Zoi F6b+ 25m |  |
17 Krimmenos Thisauros F6b+ 32m |  |

25 F ... ng Green Elefantaki F6a 27m |  |
26 Toxo F5c 17m |  |
Convoluted and unbalanced route. Bouldery start, then traverse left, and finish up what used to be a VDiff trad chimney. |
