6.<\/td>\n15m<\/td>\n5a<\/b><\/td>\n2 bolts. Easy corner- ramp. It is possible to go directly to the next belay stance but it will be not possible to hear your partner.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Left (yellow) variation: This is a partially bolted variation maybe from a party who does not know about the existence of the route. It is supposed that they started to climb from the bottom and they stopped when they found the old pitons and bolts of \u201cPillar\u201d.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Routes by:\u00a0<\/b>A. Theodoropoulos & D. Sotirakis at 8\/4\/1987.<\/p>\n

A classic multipitch climb, looking like a small copy of the famous \u201cNose\u201d! Although there are some bolts at the belay stances and at the harder parts of the route, a full trad rack (nuts, friends and slings) it is required. 2 x 60m ropes is recommend. This route was the first one who opened on the big face above Leonidio in a 2 day push back in 1987. The locals stopped their works and watched the two climbers, as they cannot believe that their cliff could be climbed! After almost 30 years, the \u201cPillar\u201d reequipped and cleaned at 4,5\/1\/2014 from Aris Theodoropoulos and Giannis Torelli. All the belay stances reequipped with 2 bolts (except the first one), and it is possible to abseil the route (6 rappels as seen in the topo).<\/p>\n

ACCESSING<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can approach from above and park your car on the top. Follow the road to Vaskina and after about 5,5KM turn right on a dirt road (500m). Park your car next to the goat farm and walk SE for 15min to join the rappel point. (As seen in picture. To reach the rappel point you need to do some easy downclimb in a full vegetated ramp-ledge). Make a 55m rappel and walk in the \u201cjungle\u201d to join the path to \u201cRamisi\u201d. No signs for the moment. Walking time: Walking and rapel and fight through the jungle for about 1 hour.<\/li>\n
  2. The second solution is to join the base of the route from below. From Leonidio follow the road to Vaskina and at the first turn go right following a level dirt road. Leave the road at the level of \u201cpillar of fire\u201d and walk uphill following the red signs and cairns. Walking time: 20 min.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To return: you could rappel down the route, but it is not recommended. If you cannot arrange someone with a car to pick you up from the top, walk to the right and look for the rappel point as the approach above.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1492008848756{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]
