Because classic is worthwhile
15 routes graded from 5c to 7a. Most routes are over 20 metres. Climbing styles vary here, from vertical faces or positive angle slabs with cracks, small boulders and handholds to slight negative angles and colonnades.
I found myself on the island in March of 2019, in order to secure and clear climbing routes across select crags. Sifnos is a beautiful island with lovely and friendly locals, who embraced us from day one. Hospitable and willing, they made our task easier. The crags are located so close to the port that make it possible for anyone to get there even without transportation. The routes vary in difficulty and altitude (from easy to medium hard), which makes them ideal for beginners and climbing schools. In the summertime, the crags lie in the shade almost all day long, making it easy to combine island holidays with climbing. I feel incredibly lucky and glad to have been on Sifnos and collaborate with its people and local authorities.
