The first ascent of the route “Paraplevri omorfia” (VII+, 165m) was realized on 17/6/2022 by D. Katsoulas - G. Koutsoukis.
The route, which means “Collateral Beauty” in English, moves between the routes “Apospasi” and “Kalinski”.
The 1st pitch (VI-, 30m) starts with a positive slab, continues to a crack-dihedral protected with two bolds and from there goes to the belay (2 bolds).
The 2nd pitch (VII-, 20m) continues straight on a dihedral, protected with two bolds, continues on a crack-dihedral which could be protected with removable gear and exits to the belay (2 bolds).
The 3rd pitch (VII+, 35m) goes diagonally to the right for about 20m, on a vertical slab, which is protected with five bolds and from there finds an open crack with grass, which could be protected with removable gear and leads to the belay (2 bolds).
The 4th pitch (V+, 20m) goes straight and to the left for about 4m, it could be protected with removable gear and exits on a ramp and follows this ramp to reach the belay (2 bolds).
The 5th pitch (VI, 30m) goes straight up and after passing two consecutive dihedrals, it comes out to a small ledge which is followed by loose rock for about 3m, meets a horizontal crack could be well protected (with small cams) and from there to the belay (2 bolds).
The 6th pitch (V+, 30m) goes straight up, into a dihedral, which can be well protected with removable gear and after exiting to a ledge it traverses to the left for a few meters (beware of the loose rock) and from there straight up to meet a dihedral, where at the end of it is the belay (2 bolds).
Useful gear for repeating the route are a set of nuts, a set of cams and slings. All belays have 2 bolds.
The return is made by the same route with 3 rappels (R6-R4, R4-R2 and R2-terrain).
During the first ascent, pitons were placed which were later removed and replaced with bolds. Also, during the first repetition, the 1st and 2nd pitches were joined.
