    Hercules Sector – Palionissos.

    Bolted winter 2019/20

    Its clearly visible from the beach as the orange wall high up, just below the ridge above Prophetis Andreas.

    6 new routes bolted last year by Mike Reed + Rory Gregory.

    There is scope for a few more.

    Easily possible to combine it with a mornings climbing in the shade at P. Andreas – hop over the ridge and climb in the afternoon shade at Hercules. Pretty much guaranteed to have it to yourself :)

    Names are all taken from the ‘Labours of Hercules’ from Ancient Greek History.

    2 approaches are possible. Names are on the rock.

    1) Approach from the road end at Palionissos and directly walk up the hill, roughly on a broad ridge, directly to the base of the obvious orange crag. 40 mins. Recommended as its a bit safer and easier than 2.

    2) Approach from Prophitis Andreas – scramble up onto the ridge, walk along for a short while, turn left down the hill carefully, toward Palionissos village, following cairns. This brings you to the top of the crag after 5 or 10 mins, take care here. A gully continues down to an open area and a big tree, then a better goat path goes around to the front of the crag. About 30 mins total from Andreas.

    Cerberus – 7b+ 25mt ***

    Hydra – 6c+ 28mt ***

    Chiron – 6a+ 20mt ***(Finish up Hydra – 6b+ 30mt **) (Direct finish 7c+ 25mt *)

    Pholus – 8a 20mt **(shares a lower off with…)

    Orthrus- 7b 20mt **

    Hera – 7a 20mt ***

    Photo topo available on request.
