In November 2006, I spend a month in Kalynos, much of this time was spend developing the following crag. Thanks are due to everyone who helped by giving me a rope, especially Chris Singer for the patient belaying, and the Althetic Municipality of Kalymnos and Steve and Sue at Glaros for providing bolts and belays. I had written detailed descriptions for these routes, but my computer crashed and I can't face writing it all again, here are some of the more important points:

- Mind out for some loose little bits, it's a very new crag, and there are still bits coming off, especially The Craic, it will all clean up soon enough.

- On Dream Line (pitch one) go way out right at the last bolt, then back left along the break - if you've got any sense.

- Ivory Tower pitch one shares some climbing with the next route - this isn't clear from my lines.

- Sidewinder has an extension, it's got bolts but no hangers, it is bouldery and sharp.

- Anaphylactic Shock and Ivory Tower are amoungst the best routes I've done, ever.

- The crag gets more shade than the rest of the area, and you'll need it.
