Krista’s Back on Rock!

After 6 years Krista plucked up all her courage and climbed with me again
in Crete. She had to overcome the trauma she had after my bad fall in Crete 2017 when she had to bring me to hospital in Chania and then get me back to Austria (whereby my son James Kristian did much of the organising) That was quite an epic, because we where somewhere in the wilds and there is no mountain rescue. 
So this October we where in Crete again and discovered a new “playground” for our pioneering ambitions. My agreement with Krista was to climb only easy routes, max. grade 3 UIAA. To confirm this aim was that we only climb in approach shoes, not in rock climbing rubbers. So what we accomplished was really advanced scrambling. But we roped up, because we just feel more comfortable on the rope entering new terrain and you just don’t know what awaits you. I also took along a set of Camalots and some chocks for the belays and the occasional runner. 
We managed to climb quite a few short routes and one 6 or 7 short pitches long. 
Thus we continue the NoTopo idea. We left no traces and will not publish any details.
