All climbing routes on Sifnos are sport climbing
By Sifnos routes, climbers push on without worrying about safety. The route features safety measure, fairly regularly, and climbers secure themselves by applying their sets. At the end of the route there is a belay device to secure descent.
Sifnos does not feature any climbing equipment rental business.
Climbers must see to carry their own equipment, consisting of a 70m rope (some routes require shorter ones), 10-16 sets, shoes, helmet and baudrier. Routes already feature installed belays and carabiners.
