Telendos Eros

A lovely cliff with two distinct climbing styles. The left hand side is steep, smooth and overhanging. The right hand side is vertical, rough and with good pockets, both sides have excellent routes. Thos on the right hand side are generally 40m or a little longer, an 80m rope is essential, tie a knot in the end of your rope. The crag gets the shade after midday.
