The Crux...

The crux of Agealis starts with an imposing tufa that you clip on the right before traversing left to a good pinch. Then its an iron pinch on the tufa and two shallow pockets before another good handle at the top of the tufa. Its a sequence that you'd never miss if it were a boulder problem, but 20 pumpy meters up its a whole different story... And all the while, the irrational thought exists in the back of your mind, that the rope is shearing across that tufa. Oscar Krumlinde launching into the crux of Agealis 7c, Grande Grotta, Kalymnos.
