3 hr 8b OS by Gaz Parry (39)

Gareth Parry has onsighted the 75 m Morgan Adam est une Andalouse, 8b in the Sikati Cave on Kalymnos and it took him three hours and then another 45 minutes to clean all the drawers. (c) Vladimir Arnaoudov and here is a Kalymnos article by him also. "My best climbing experience ever on Kalymnos even if the mega drag stepping up over the last bulge was almost the crux. The rock is just perfect all the way. The second extension is maybe just 8a after a very good rest, where I pulled the rope and more quickdraws. I sort of agree what 8a said about giving multi-pitches an overall grade based on the full experience and if so 8b is OK." Gaz has just moved back to UK from Spain and the next thing to do is to set some boulder comps and to train the National Team. The next year he hopes to do some Boulder World Cups again.
