Overview
Kalymnos is a world-class sport climbing destination. It's a magical and beautiful place that any climber will soon fall in love with.
Why you should join us and why Greece is so special:
We keep the climber to guide ratio small for this trip with no more than 4 clients to one guide.
This trip is great for all levels as there are very easy climbs right next door to more challenging rock climbs at all crags that we visit.
Our guides are some of the best in the world and will help you to reach your climbing goals. We will work individually with people to help improve movement and proficiency in climbing. We guarantee that you will climb at least a grade higher by the completion of our week together on the rocks.
Heidi and Petch have taught hundreds of people the art of rock climbing. This is the perfect chance to learn to climb in a safe and friendly environment with amazing instructors.
We will keep our bodies happy with 3 yoga practice to ease the stiff muscles from our climbing days.
It is a great way to meet new like-minded individuals.
It's a little more relaxing than our other trips. There's just something about the beauty of the place and the fact that we all have our own accommodations with a sea view that seems to cause us to take things a little easier in our down time.
Both couples and individuals will love the beauty and serene atmosphere of this amazing Greek island.
Every room has a view of the Aegean Sea from our individual open air balcony. You can also walk right out your door and down the steps to the beach!
There will also be time to explore the island by motorbike, car or bicycle.
