Fighting with Fear & Tackling Tufas in Kalymnos // Sgùrr

Part 1 of our week-long climbing trip to Kalymnos! We have wanted to visit Kalymnos for several years now, and finally got to go in November of 2023. Excited for a week of sport climbing on a beautiful Greek island, our hopes were immediately dashed when we found out we would be stuck on Kos (the neighbouring island) due to very strong winds. We eventually succeeded in getting there, albeit several days late, and battled our way up some challenging limestone routes in the Grand Grotta and Iliada Area.

I really enjoyed watching this video. I've been keen to visit Kalymnos to climb so it has been insightful into the area as well as the travel. It's also very reassuring to see that it is not just myself who struggles with the pressure of challenging myself and the lingering fear. I'm trying different ways to target this so I wish you the best in either overcoming it or finding ways to climb along side it without it affecting you!

I really enjoyed your descriptions of the emotions you felt on the wall, I can totally relate to feeling fear on the wall and disappointment when I come down. You simultaneously made me laugh. Thanks for the nice video! Good luck with the climbing attitude, living it with you in spirit 👏

What drone do you guys use? I’m interested in one but worried I take too long to climb 😂
