If you remove the pitch two anchor, it works. In other words, the guidebook P2 and P3 are, in fact, one pitch.

Also, pitch two is total choss. I recommend helmets!

Overall, this was a good route, but not “destined to be classic” as advertised.

The route was protected by nuts and slings with bolts used for abseil anchors. Transport to and from the bay was with the late Nikos Vasilas.

Resin anchors were used for abseils where trees could not be utilised.
