The first ascent of the route “Dogma” (ED+, 500m) was realized on 22-23/6/2002 by G. Voutyropoulos - G. Torelli - N. Hatzis.
It is a demanding line on a fantastic crag. It was opened up starting from the ground and completed after two attempts, while only the absolutely necessary pros were placed. During the first attempt, the first seven pitches were opened up, while during the second attempt, the three climbers, although they began climbing early in the morning so as to finish the whole route within the day, they finally completed the route, after a cold bivi, late in the night of the following day.
The route consists of 15 pitches of challenging climbing; it is characterized by continuously big degree of difficulty, while four pitched had to be aid climbed (A1) and there are also a few run-outs. This part of the crag, where “Dogma” lies, is basically a 400m rigid wall, with no ledges and with many overhangs.
In order to repeat this route, one must be equipped with a full set of nuts and friends, 10 quickdraws and 6 slings.
The route starts 20 meters to the left of a big cave and it ends at the top of the crag. In order to return, just follow the footpath.
