KOKKINOVRACHOS – MIRA (8 Climbs)

Approach

Walk up from Leonidio: take the road up to Baskina (Vaskina), on the 2nd big turn follow the flat dirt road on the right until your are above Leonidio. Below the Pillar of fire (with the flag at the top), walk up the steep path with red marks, 40 minutes. The Aramis start is 10 m left of Ura Ka.

Abseils from the top: follow the road up to Baskina (Vaskina) and go to the farm on your right near the flag on the plateau above the Big wall. Walk to the flag follow a path (10 min), then follow the top of the Big wall towards the sea, red marks at the end, total 15 min.

The new abseils of Aramis are now the best way down around with a 80 m rope. The first abseil, near a tree on the ridge at the top of the wall (ledge, ropes and bolts), is easy to find with the name of Aramis. The vertical wall here is about 170 m high, make five obvious abseils straight down: down Aramis 38 m, 25 m, 27 m, then off Aramis, 40 m, 40 m.

Created by Giannis Metaxotos and Claude Remy, 11 April 2015.
6a+ obl, 6b with 6pa or 6b+, take 15 QD. It is a long route on the Big Red Wall, right of Ramisi, with a lot of variety. At the moment Mira is the easiest long route and the best protected, 100 bolts, on the Big Red Wall. You can abseil down from each belay except belay 7 (the one after the traverse). Listen Mira of Makis Ablianitis.
