Kastraki Tower Meteora, Greece.
The rock is a conglomerate, so it can vary from Pinnacles-like quality to occasionally rival that of Tuolumne.
Developed under a strict ground-up ethic by Dieter Hasse.
This route was something like five or six pitches. Bigger than it looks in the picture for sure! The first pitch, 5.10 stemming and chimney against walls with nearly the consistency of dirt, but more like frozen dirt, so not quite that bad.
At the 5.10 OW crux, the rock is a bit flakey and littered with pokey crystalline shaped knobs.
Still, one of the more novel climbs of memory!
A bit on the Chossy side and also a powerful line to be sure.

Gotta throw a vote for Monte Paterno in the Dolomites. Pretty ugly. The Lions Head formation in Eagle is vertical dirt maintaining a disquise. I'll load up a few shots of the craptasm that is the Rotwand.

OH SCHIST!
My subconscious-mind had made me avoid looking at this thread until tonight.
and then I did.
Please appreciate that I am in recovery from being:
A CHOSS-ADDICT!
This is all very difficult for me.
Thank you for your great photos & stories.
SCHIST!
I'm going to have nightmares again, tonight!
It's been many sleepless nights, since that trip to the Hayes Range in Alaska in 1976.
A little wine helps, at bedtime.

The "belayer slayer" pitch on Der Dihedral FA - a variation on Dragontail Peak in the North Cascades (Leavenworth area)...I was the belayer, Mike is the delicate leader. The loose tooth is below him.
