Je T’aime

__At this writing (October 2023) rebolting of sector Je T’Aime is still underway. Stay tuned for updates.__ A southeast-facing crag just off the road connecting the villages of Arginonta and Vathy. It is a peaceful crag far from “noisy” Masouri, with quite a few easy routes in addition to the overhangs. For years, many of the routes at Je T’Aime were free projects with question marks. Furthermore, the bolts were poorly placed, routes were never properly cleaned, and the bolts used were of poor quality. This was unfortunate, because the rock quality is good. Between spring/autumn 2023, the crag began to be completely restored. Niels Abegglen, in collaboration with Aris Theodoropoulos, checked the routes, replaced bad bolts, and cleaned loose rock. Whichever routes made no sense (some lines were absurd and unclimbable) were de-bolted. New, well-bolted, interesting routes were equipped in their place. At the time of this writing (October 2023), sub-sector Animal Farm (formerly Left Wall) is completely restored and ready to be climbed. Rebolting is still underway at sub-sectors Arena and Right Slabs. Check back with the app, as it will be updated when work on each section of the crag is completed. All bolts and anchors used in the restoration of Je T’Aime were provided by Climb Kalymnos using proceeds from the sale of this guidebook. Je T’Aime is expected to become quite popular, thanks to afternoon shade, good bolting, and proximity to the road, much like nearby sector Griffig. Stay tuned. __Why is this an app-only crag?__ Restoration of the crag had not been completed at the time the print edition was published. __Climbing__ Varied climbing on good rock: compact vertical or slightly overhanging walls, plus some slabby climbing on the Right Slabs. __Conditions__ Cool and shady, good for afternoon climbing hot days. Protected from the north wind. Shade (Exposure: SE, S) Mostly after 13:00. __Kids__ OK, if they can make it up the first part of the path (fixed rope). There are some good areas around the cliffs. __Far Left Slab__ is located 100m further left of Animal Farm. _Exposure_: S _Shade_: After 17:00 __Animal Farm__ is behind and to the left of Arena, the main crag. Climbing varies from slabs to vertical to slightly overhanging walls. _Exposure_: SE, E, S _Shade_: After 13:00 at the left side of this V-shaped crag. __Arena__, the main crag, is a long U-shaped cliff featuring compact red overhanging rock on the left, scrappy rock in the back, and grey walls and slabs to the right. Climbing is athletic and steep, but there are vertical and low-angle climbs, too. _Exposure_: SE, E, S, W _Shade_: Varies. At the main cliff of Arena (i.e. the left side), after 13:00. On the right side of Arena (S, W), shade in the early morning until 12:00 and again after 17:00. __Right Slabs__ is a long sheer of slabs and walls about 100m to the right of the U-shaped main cliff. CLIMBING On the left, very low-angle slabs with some suspect flakes. On the right, better-quality vertical grey and red walls. _Exposure_: S _Shade_: After 18:00. __Busy__ 1/3
