Aegean Sea is an absolutely fantastic tufa climb to the left of the Grande Grotta in Kalymnos and I was under the impression that it was a hike having just watched a middle aged woman cruise it while avoiding what I found to be a key tufa.Returning to the ground she discussed the legitimacy of her climb with a friend who had been on Cigarillo, which obviously includes the big black tufa in question.
"I wasn't sure if I could use the tufa, the two routes are so close together."
"Yeah, it's a bit difficult to read."
"I didn't want to climb on your route so I didn't use it."
Obviously, something needed to be said so I piped up.
"Shit, if you can clip you're on route."
I mean, Lynn Hill should know, she's climbed enough...
