<\/p>\nA new climbing spot between Athens & Leonidio!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are glad to announce the development of two new climbing sectors in the Northern Peloponnese!<\/p>\n
48 densely bolted and thoroughly cleaned routes, with grades from 5a to 7b+, are waiting for you in the historic Corinthia region.<\/p>\n
Frygani is a large limestone and conglomerate vertical wall, similar to the legendary Meteora cliffs but, in fact, the rock is significantly more solid and with features in abundance (pockets, holes and flakes). Another important difference: the bolting in Frygani is much denser!<\/p>\n
In cooperation with more than 30 local businesses and under the supervision\u00a0of Aris Theodoropoulos<\/a>\u00a0and his experienced team, we developed 48 climbing routes that are ideal for:<\/p>\n Located less than 2 hours drive from Athens, Patras or Nafplio, sectors Frygani and Mylos have already gained positive feedback from the climbing community and are totally worth your visit.<\/p>\n According to Mr. Aris Theodoropoulos’ climbing book (Greece: Sport climbing the best of 2017<\/a>):<\/p>\n For the first time in the climbing history of Greece, so many local companies, professionals along with the municipality of Sikyon,\u00a0have cooperated and crowdfunded such a climbing project. We should congratulate everybody that was involved, and especially\u00a0Experience Corinthia<\/a>\u00a0and Mrs. Mina Papamitrou (arxontiko-kefalari.gr<\/a>), who was the connective tissue and mobilizer of this initiative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n See more info about the project at\u00a0http:\/\/climbgreece.com\/frygani\/<\/a><\/p>\n Frygani is just 2km from Kefalari, a traditional and non-touristic village in mountainous Corinthia. It is located on the eastern foot of Mount Ziria, the second tallest mountain of Peloponnese.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Less than 10km away you will find Lake Stymphalia, the largest mountain lake of the Peloponnese, mostly known for Hercules’ 6th labour, the Stymphalian Birds! The\u00a0Environment Museum of Stymphalia<\/a> is a must visit as it displays the interdependence of mankind and Nature by\u00a0providing information on the region’s environment,\u00a0human activity and traditional professions.<\/p>\n Less than 30 minutes away you can visit Nemea, the biggest wine-producing region in Greece with huge historical & mythological importance (Hercules 1st labour; slay of the Nemean Lion). Here you can visit nearby wineries to taste some of the country’s greatest wines, as well as the Archeological Museum of Nemea<\/a> the Temple of Zeus and the Nemean Games Stadium.<\/p>\n In Corinthia you can combine adventurous climbing with historic sightseeing, local food & wine and hiking among vineyards, lakes, and plateaus with rich flora & fauna.<\/p>\n Lat\/Long:<\/strong> 37.931712, 22.533892<\/a> |\u00a0Exposure:<\/strong> East |\u00a0Shade \u2245<\/strong> From 15:30 |\u00a0Grades:<\/strong>\u00a05a+ to 7b+ | Routes:<\/strong> 38 | Lengths:<\/strong>\u00a016 to 40 meters |\u00a0Walking:<\/strong> 3 minutes|\n
