climbing guidebook Karpathos Rock Climbing Guidebook

The third edition has fewer pages but more content and now presents about 400 sport climbing routes (now also with the first multi-pitch routes of the island) in 33 sectors of the Dodecanese island in the eastern Aegean Sea. The sectors/climbing routes are spread all over the island. Detailed maps with the accesses to the area, GPS data of the parking areas, good color photopos and concise descriptions of each sector make orientation easy. In addition, the difficulty levels are graded in different colors so that you can more quickly perceive what to expect. The color coding of the grades: up to 5c+ green, 6a to 6c+ red, 7a to 7c+ black and from 8a purple. Of course, the usual pictograms are still used for a quicker overview (child-friendliness, orientation of the sector, wall height, number of exes needed, access time).
Karpathos may not have the quite big potential like other Greek climbing spots, but there is enough of good climbing stuff for a vacation on this island!
