The sun has well and truly got its hat back on now! SunRock indeed 🙂 Troughton team selfie at the campsite ahead of Tash’s last day Back to Twin Caves […]

Warm, sunny intervals and possible showers – a bit of everything today, and teams headed to Panagia, Theos and Mars. After a tough 4 days, Jake was keen for a […]
After three chilly days, normal “Sun Rock service” was finally resumed – just in time to avoid the worst of the mutiny! Big teams at Red Rock and Skiadianiko made […]
Another chilly day, 8C max, but at least it was dry. Reports from Bill and Barbara, back from a foray over the hill, indicated the snowploughs had been out! News […]
With Saturday’s deluge behind us, it was still pretty chilly and some early drizzle had us wandering up to the crag around noon. Surprisingly, the whole of the Theos / […]
The forecasts had been promising a grim start to the final week of SunRock 2019, with various doom-laden projections including inches of rain and even snow. In fairness, the “official” […]
Parking at the 9th hairpin out of town you’re at over 400m (the crag’s at 470m) which is why we were in the snow when Jim and I made our […]
Another small sector with a decent mix of grades from 6a to 7a situated a few minutes above the Elona road. Ignore the instructions to park 400m beyond the hairpin […]
Good drying weather and wilting arms provided the perfect conditions to get a month’s washing done and have a lazy start… … before heading to the crag. We’d nipped to […]
This is a newly developed sector on the Theos escarpment, another couple of hundred metres beyond Theos Right (along and gently DOWNWARDS. which isn’t completely obvious from the guide). You […]
We’d visited this crag on our last trip in the hope that the altitude plus the curved nature of the crag might provide enough shade and relief from the heat. […]
Although the keen team and overlanders have been here for almost a week, the “official” Rucksack Club SunRock meet actually started on Saturday, though clearly I’d forgotten to book the […]
This new crag has been developed by a German couple since the last guide, and is set fairly high above the road to Elona (the guide says an elevation gain […]
Wednesday was a day to forget from a climbing point of view – torrential rain was only interrupted towards late afternoon when it turned to snow! In fairness, Jim and […]
We’d explored a couple of the sectors on the big yellow wall that overlooks the Leonidio valley nearest the coast, above the road to Athens on our last trip – […]
After another circuitous drive up the “Peloponnes forefinger” and over the mountains from Sparta, we’re back in Leonidio – familiar territory from our 2017 trip it feels like coming home. […]
The crag just keeps on giving… As well as the imposing main face that overlooks the parking area, there’s a bit round the corner that faces east and so enjoys […]
The left hand side of the crag – the imaginatively named “West Zobolo” reaches a height of around 150m and is home to 5 multi-pitch routes. Today’s combination of lighter […]
Started off chilly so we had a mooch down to the coast to check out Zobolo’s other major attraction (in addition to the very fine crag and aforementioned most southerly […]
The Vatiko peninsula at the bottom end of the “forefinger” of the Peloponnese marks the southernmost point of mainland Europe (according to the guidebook – a bit more analysis suggests […]
