Shameless, narcissistic, self-promoting *bump*
Anyone else been to Metora?
Post up; I'd love to see more climbing shots.

Couple of quick shots from a trip in April 06...
View from Doupiani
East Ridge of Doupiani
Crux of ER of Doupiani. 5.10a-ish move, but, easily A0-able if need be.
Crazy rock. Reminded me of a more lower angle version of Maple Canyon, with sparse pro bolts but less chossy.
We had a great trip there, somewhat plagued by rain, but, made for great monastery touring. Our trip coincided with Easter. We attended church services the night prior, which was pretty cool, in a super old church nearby our hotel.
Great pictures you've posted!

Thanks Chiloe, Anders & everyone -glad you enjoyed the obscure tour.
Hey that's cool Brian!
The rock is sandstone and varies from near dirt to really clean and solid, mostly somewhere in between...
The Doupiani: I haven't read the word for quite some time, cheers & thanks for the shots!

Interesting stuff Tar. Always wondered what that rock was like close up - it's not what I expected at all. Looks like it would make for some real cheesegrater falls on the lower angle stuff.

Yes Healyje, like a coarse limestone embedded with myriad protruding granite river stones.
It could grate on the boobs for sure!

Tarbuster!
Thank you for waking me up, I was hibernating...
This thread is making me homesick!
I will post up some pics tomorrow.
Now I am full of thoughts of Neils and Kit who are as much part of Greece as I am.

Roy,
I think you should have stuck with that sporty little porkpie model you wore in Greece, rather than the trademark Stetson. Never too late for some rebranding.
