The first ascent of the route “Oliki epanafora” (VIII- A2, 700m) was realized on 10/6/1996 by A. Theodoropoulos - G. Voutyropoulos. During the opening up of the route, which lasted for several years, T. Michailidis - T. Petroheilos - G. Kardakos - L. Anestis - D. Theodorou also helped.
It is a hard and serious route, 700m long (from the base of the crag up to the top), while the elevation change is 500m.
The quality of the rock is in general good enough. Until R10 there are permanent protections on all belays, as well as several in-between ones. Escape by abseiling is possible up until R9.
In order to repeat the route one needs to be equipped with a set of nuts, friends, slings and aiders for the aid climbing passages, which are found at the parts where the quality of the rock is bad.
Starting from the little pillar on the top, returning involves descending with direction to the right of the crag, by following the smooth slope which leads to the dirt road.
The first repetition of the route was realized in 1998 by S. Karampampas - A. Tafi.
On 9/9/2007, G. Torelli - A. Thanopoulos, repeating “Oliki Epanafora”, tried to free climb the A2 passages of the 8th and 9th pitch. At the 8th pitch, right at the exit of the overhang, they aid climbed (A1) the second last bolt and so reassessed the pitch to IX- A1. The 9th pitch was also reassessed to approximately IX+ by A. Thanopoulos, who free climbed, top-rope, the entire pitch.
On 16/9/2007, G. Torelli - N. Karympalis, climbed an interesting variation of the route, which they called “Diedriki epanafora” (VI+, 110m); this line moves on the east side of the pillar on which the first part of “Oliki epanafora” moves, to the left of the big dihedral. Its two pitches lead straightaway to the top of the pillar, where the line meets the R5 of “Oliki epanafora”. A set of nuts, a set of friends and slings are required for this variation.
