Nikia

Routes are from slab and vertical to overhanging. You will find crimps, dihedrals, jugs, tufas, long moves, most special underclings, technical to endurance climbing... Really varied wall.
Anchors are often "2-Ring-Anchors" - so when cleaning the route make sure you put your rope trough both rings!
Perfect spot for early risers as the wall offers shade till midday (depending a bit on the time of the year). Climbing in the sun is often possible anyway, because of a nice breeze/wind running along the wall. Shade comes in again in early evening - perfect for a "last go in the shade" before heading down.
We built 3 places aka "camps" offering a shaded place to chill and put the bags.
This sector is also perfect in combination with "Cave of Panagia" - after a warm-up in shady Nikia you can go climbing in the afternoon-shade of Panagia..
