Description

The rock consists of grey-brown and red limestone of very good quality. Its natural sharpness, especially on the easier routes, is part of the climbing challenge. Harder routes include overhangs, tuffas and dihedrals. Most routes include some chipped holds/pockets!

History

Charamos Crag was spotted by Stamatis Konstantakopoulos, who proceeded to bolt most of the routes on the left side of the rock face in 2021. Christos Rigas was also invited to bolt several routes, focusing on the right portion of the crag, while Eleni Chroni, among others, contributed with cleaning some routes and generally supporting the bolting process.
