Preface
In spring 2005, Ii travelled to Karpathos for windsurfing. I have seen a beautiful Island, perfect for windsurfing and other
kind of sports. I´m an enthusiastic rock climber and I have also seen many nice walls. But in the opposite to Kalymnos
there are no fixed climbing routs. I returned in summer, and so since summer 2005 there are some climbing possibilities
on Karpathos.
Now it´s October 2010 and Ii write the new version of the guide. A lot of climbing routes in nice different spots are now on
Karpathos, enough for a week of climbing. Many climbers came to Karpathos and I heard only good feedback.
In Summer 2010 I developed a internet site, www.karpathos-climbing.com. Likely you had the guide from there. At this
site there is also an forum, the Karpathos Climbing Forum. This is the fastest way to get the news on new routes and
meet some climber on Karpathos. If you want to comment some routes, there is space for everything. Try it!
Of course, you can`t compare Karpathos with Kalymnos. But this is absolutely not necessary, on Karpathos you can do
much more than rock climbing. Karpathos is very famous for windsurfing and have many nice small beaches for an
ordinary holiday.

„Bayern Block“ at Achata Beach
About
Achata Beach is one oft the nicest beaches in Karpathos. The beach is surrounded from impressing walls. There are
many possibilities for new climbs, from easy alpinist climbs to hard boulders. There are many new Routes in 2010!
Access
From Karpathos Town (Pigardia) to Aperi; shortly before Aperi there is al
small bridge (one-way); directly after the bridge right and follow the sings to
Achata Beach.
Approach
At the last bend there is a small way to the wall. You will need good shoes,
there are many thorns on the plants!
Approach to sector “backdoor” and “boat or goat”
Since 2010 there are many new climbs at achata beach and it´s not so
easy to reach all of them. The new sectors “backdoor” and “boat or goat”
have many nice new paths. Especially “boat or goat” is excellent easy toprope rock climbing in great atmosphere. To reach “boat or goat” you have
to go to the sector “backdoor” (via sector “on the left”, then follow the ledge on the left). From the fixpoint on “backdoor”
you have to abseil 1 or 2 pitch to the ground.
The way back to achata is a very easy 3+ to the sector “Backdoor” or a 5+ (Hoamweh).

Afiarits / Sector “First”
About
The Name of the Sector is a fact, it´s the first
possibility to climb near the airport and the
surfing spots. Therefore i had to drill some
holes in the wall and create a climbing spot.
Perfect for a windless day. If it changes, you
will see; there is a perfect panorama over
Afiartis up there. The wall is always in the
sun, it´s getting hot there!
Access/ Parking
From the airport in the direction to Pigadia.
Before the street goes up to the mountain,
there is a small crossroad. Right to the Hotel
Poseidon, you have to turn left there. Drive
to the end of the road (holding right at the
end) an park there.
Approach
You see the wall in front of you. Go across
the field and reach the wall in 5 Minutes.

About
Last summer, I was there for
bathing with my wife.
Directly at the beach, I saw a very
good wall with bolts in it!
Unfortunately my climbing stuff was
in the hotel.
So, the difficulty of the routes are
only estimated.
