    I would just like to say that we strongly discourage free soloing on Kalymnos, especially since there is no organized rescue in case of accident.

    Hey, for those who like to climb without ropes...last December I free soloed (and onsighted) this route (skipping L1 and L2 and climbing directly to the second anchor via the Ocean Dream route (6a)). L3 was for me the hardest pitch, specially in that windy day (a lot of foot work). An amazing pitch, hard in the grade. L4 and L5, soft in the grade, not as technical as L3. Perfect rock in most of the route (in terms of free soloing)...just be careful at the end of L3 (slippery) and L5 (not so good rock). Concerning the descent of the route, you can climb down the abseil (V) to finally get the base of the wall. So, no ropes are needed for descending. I would have found this information very useful if I would had it before...so here it is! david
