Parnitha - Kato Flampouri

Ploumisti

Rock, Traditional

The first ascent of the route “Ploumisti” (V+, 50m) was realized in 1968 by A. Ploumis - K. Petridou.

The line moves to the left of the “Classic” route and starts from a ledge under negatives, where the first two bolts of the route can be seen on a slab on the right.

On the 1st pitch (V+, 20m) we leave the large ledge and climb the slab on the right. At 1m there is an old piton and then 2 bolts. After the second bolt (V+) we move diagonally and to the left in the direction of the large ledge. Before we go up to the ledge (V+) there is a sling around a needle. In the ledge there is a belay (3 bolts).

The 2nd pitch (V+, 30m) starts with a negative pass to the right of the ledge (V+, piton) to enter a narrow chimney. We climb the entire chimney and the most difficult pass is at its narrowest point (V+, piton). At the end of the chimney we exit to a sloping ledge (V+, piton) where 4m to the right we make a belay on 2 pitons and a large hole.

To repeat the route a full set of nuts, friends (up to Camalot #3) and slings are needed.

The return is made with a 50m rappel from the large hole at the exit of the route. If we want, however, we continue with 1 or 2 pitches from other neighboring routes to get to the ridge and from there walk to the right, following the path.

The route.
