Climbing photo wins climbing wine

The Dutch rock climbing and boulder magazine BLOK (Bl.ad o.ver k.limmen) runs a photo competition on their website. Sandra decided to send in one of the photos of our spring 2011 Kalymnos trip, and guess what.. we won two bottles of "Climbing Shiraz" :).



The winning photo, featured on their website and in the BLOK magazine, shows me climbing Kerveros 7a in sector Spartacus, a very aesthetic route with lots of stalactite features and a marvelous view.

Kalymnos Climbing Festival 2011

During our stay at Kalymnos the annual Kalymnos Climbing Festival took place from 18th - 22nd May. Pro-climbers Patxi Usobiaga and Nicolas Favresse were invited to give video presentations. Nico's talk on Vertical sailing Greenland was both inspiring and hilarious, it's a pleasure to meet climbers who don't take themselves too seriously. On the 21st a boulder competition was held in the harbour of Pothia, below you can see some photos (© Nikolaos Smalios) of the finals which were won by Alexander Hille.
