Kalymnos Local Freezer
A couple of caves with some steep overhanging routes that are always in the shade
Follow the road north out of Masouri past the sharp bend at Kasteli. About 2 km down the hill there is an old concrete building on the right. Either park here, walk up the hillside (10 minutes),warm up on a couple of summertime routes, and then traverse across to Locl Freezer (a further 10 minutes). Or continue for a few hundred metres, park on the right and walk directly up to the crag.
