We first visited Kalymnos in the autumn of 2008, as was usual back then, we arrived at the start of October and suffered for our art with really crowded crags and unpleasantry hot conditions for much of our trip, climbing beyond about 13:00 was a no no. By the time we were due to leave, at the beginning of November, we knew for sure this was the time to be here, the crags were much quieter and the temperatures were perfect, climbing the sun was a pleasure not a chore. Since then we have visited in November (and March) almost every year since and never regretted a day of it.

Karlomanos (5a) - nice

The journey here from the Ariege was the usual sketch of waiting around, queues, delays, nights in strange beds, plus the the inevitable expenses associated with travelling - was it worth it? Hell yeah!
So here we are in the November sunshine - Day One - four easy routes in perfect conditions on Sea Breeze, that will do nicely for starters. The place was quite busy but we know from previous experience most of them will be pushing off soon enough - hopefully we are in for the longer run.
