Rebolt Kalymnos may have just launched, but climbe Rebolt Kalymnos may have just launched, but climbers have been rebolting routes on a volunteer basis for years.

Case in point: last year, a major rebolting effort took place in Sikati Cave, one of Kalymnos’s most iconic crags. It was made possible by an immensely generous donation from Dave Lane. In total, 14 routes were partially or fully rebolted:

Originally bolted in the early 2000s, these lines were due for an update. The rebolting crew (Niels Abegglen, Max Berger, Axel Coiral, George Kopalides, Dave Lane, Axel Legrand, Sergi Medina, and Pesche Wüthrich) spent weeks in the cave tackling this massive job.

If you appreciate their work, the best way to support it is by making a donation to Rebolt Kalymnos.

Rebolting report from Tuesday, 15 April: FACATELEN Rebolting report from Tuesday, 15 April: FACATELENDOS 6b+ and SPONGE BEACH 7b+ (sector Ourania Cave) were fully rebolted by nielsabegglen and @ariskaly 🔧

FACATELENDOS was a top priority—two of its first bolts had recently failed under weight. The other bolts were still strong, but we didn’t want to leave anything to chance. The whole line was rebolted with brand-new @lappasclimbingbolts stainless steel Sea Urchin D10 bolts and lower-off.

SPONGE BEACH, the route to the right, was also fully rebolted. While no bolts had failed on SPONGE BEACH, it was also equipped in 2004 by the same equipper as FACATELENDOS, and its first bolt didn’t look so good. So we didn’t take any chances. Full rebolt. 

Next up: the old hardware still needs to be removed from SPONGE BEACH. Stay tuned.

Head to reboltkalymnos.org to support the cause and join the movement to keep Kalymnos safe!

You’ll start seeing this poster around the islan You’ll start seeing this poster around the island—it marks the launch of something we care deeply about.

For years, Climb Kalymnos has worked tirelessly on crag maintenance, but as climbing here has exploded in popularity, the scale of upkeep has outgrown what a small group of volunteers can manage.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Rebolt Kalymnos: a climber-led nonprofit dedicated to keeping the crags safe, clean, and world-class for everyone. It’s not just a Climb Kalymnos project, but something bigger. It’s a collective effort, open to anyone who loves this island and wants to give back.

The posters are up, and the website is live.

We are so saddened by the sudden passing of Jean N We are so saddened by the sudden passing of Jean Noel Bourgeois. Just days ago, he was here on Kalymnos, climbing and bolting new lines, and now he’s gone. 

Life is such a precious and fragile thing.

Our hearts go out to his many friends and loved ones.

Goodbye, Jean Noel. Thank you for adding to the magic of Kalymnos all these years.
