In 2003 we went climbing with Muni and Rose to Varasova, a
limestone cliff in Greece east of Missolonghi. This 900m high
promontory that drops into the Ionian Sea is the home of Greek
climbing. There are over 200 routes, some sports routes of 3-4
pitches on the south face near the sea and some much longer trad
climbs of up to 18 pitches on the south-west face. The rock is very
solid, relatively sharp, mostly gray or yellow limestone of
outstanding quality. We climbed a lot of routes at VS standard with
a couple of longer more serious climbs. Scharlie also had an
adventure climbing the mountain to the summit on her own one day,
We visited Missolonghi where Byron had died of a fever fighting for
Greek independence, and Nafpaktos where Cervantes had lost an arm
fighting in the sea battle of Lepanto in the Gulf of Corinth, We
also went to Delphi where Rose and Scharlie had a race around the
400 m stadium.
