Greece-Kalymnos-Arhi (Day 162 & 163)

Ram is a strong climber but has no stamina so we kept looking for short hard routes.

Arhi had a 7a+ that fit the bill so we headed over there in the morning to climb in the shade.

I found a 6b+ to try before we got to the real steep climbing.

Again I failed to on-sight the route.

Before Ram got on the climb I setup on some bolts to the right to shoot photos.

Ram got on the 7a+ and sent no problem.

After sending Ram setup to shoot photos.

Anja gave the climb a shot on lead but had to hang.

I did on top rope.

Back on the motorbike and we headed home.  I made quick trip to the hospital to see Will.

That night we had dinner with Will’s climbing partner Chris.

The next day Ram and I made a trip to the post office and saw Will again.  Nice night shot of the coast.
