climbing partners

hi guys,

sorry i dont speak any Greek ! we will have to make do with my english or french.

I have just arrived in Athens and am looking for locals who are keen to climb. if i learnt some Greek along the way even better. or if you have any advice on a mountaineering club i should join.

Im not a very strong sport climber but have the equipment and am safe and i think fun to be around.

let me know if anybody is free to climb during the week, mondays to fridays work best for me !!

cheers

thanks argio,

ill post on that site too. yes i think climbing walls would be a good place to find people. but its so nice outside at the moment! i will go to one soon.

yesterday i went walking near the Fyli crags (with my harness and shoes) i joined in and did a few short routes on 'Epos'. very well bolted and not too steep, a good intro for my change from granite.

cheers
Jack
