South of Heaven 8a (5.13b) - Kalymnos Sikati Cave climbing

this route is so friggin epic and fun.. but so many routes in kalymnos are for a boy out of texas.

this is a kalymnos 8a (obviously). i sent three 8a's on the 2024 trip, which is the highest grade i've sent ever, but hey, vacation grades feel nice too.

a mega sport climb with two cruxes (and 2 smaller cruxes) separated by two full rests. tie a stopper knot if you're using a 70m rope.

pinkpoint on 10/18/24
2 back to back days
2 beta burns
1st attempt fell at last crux going to chains. next day came back and 1st go pinkpoint.
