Meteora famous for its monasteries is also one of the most famous rock climbing sites in Greece and offers rock climbing on conglomerate rock of huge pinnacles; on top of some of these pinnacles are actually these medieval monasteries. Meteora is a great place to start a trip with plenty of mid range climbs in the F5a to F6c+ grade range on slaby or vertical rock; harder quality routes are of course available. The routes there are a mixture between bolted and traditional, and vary between single pitch and multi-pitch routes up to 300m long. |
