Hello,

I found a few new routes in Balcony Helvetia which look very interesting. Does anybody have any information about names/grades?

Thanks in advance

Some info for Balcony Helvetia in Arhi sector from Hannes Webhofer:

Niels Begglen ( Switzerland ) and myself bolted these new climbs there , we wrote the Grades at the bottom of the climbs yesterday , but not the names yet….

+’ Welcome to the pleasure dome’ 7c 28m *** right of swisskiss

+ Perfect Stranger 7a *** 25m Same start as Zange

+ Waiting foreva ( right spelling ) 8a+/8b? Right of Fracaso

Visited today. Thanks guys, excellent routes. This sector is now becoming one of the very best on Kalymnos for 7’s.

Rapunzel. Musical note. Top end 7b, maybe 7b+? Brilliant brilliant climbing. Makes you think all the way.

Patsamama. Very good climbing and a great idea to put in the new anchors. 3 star route. Maybe 7b. I did this before Rapunzel and thought maybe a touch easier and more obvious.

Perfect Stranger. This is tricky. I can see you want us to go one way at the crux, I ended up going the other way. Both are quite hard for the grade and I think 7a+ might be a safer grade. This one still feels very new and the broccoli is very crumbly. Great upper section.

End Of Mythos direct is nice too, 6c I think.

Next time I’ll try the 6b, and the 7c right of Swiss which looks amazing.

Thanks again. Wonderful routes.

Hi,

Also visited today,

6b is still fresh, I falled of with big hold in hand so stay focused.

Maybe hard 6b, but will be good after cleaning
