Program for the trip

Day 1 
Travel day. You travel to Kos and from there you take the ferry to Kalymnos where we will pick you up. Check-in at accommodation and free activities for the evening. You can arrive at any time during the day.
 

Day 2 
Welcome meeting in the morning. Then we head off to a crag where we climb together. Today, fall training is on the schedule as well as joint climbing and anchor building. In the evening we have dinner together so everyone gets to know each other a little better.
 

Day 3 
We start the day with warming up before heading to a new crag for climbing. The idea is that we will take you to the best sectors and cliffs on Kalymnos during the week. Today we focus on mental strength, attitude, awareness and redpoint tactics. In the afternoons we hang out on the beach for a cooling dip after a full day of climbing. In the evening we have dinner at a restaurant, either together or on our own.
 

Day 4
After breakfast, we look at a number of technique exercises that are good for climbers before we head to a new cliff for technique training. The focus during the day will be on developing your technology, no matter what level you are at.
 

Day 5
Today we have a calmer day so we get an important recovery for the rest of the week. Climbing for many days in a row can be unusual at first and muscles and skin may need a break. You can use this day to explore the island or maybe get a massage.
 

Day 6
We continue with the climb on a new cliff and you get feedback on your technique and personal coaching. We talk further about projecting and going through onsight technology. In the evening we do like any other evening and have dinner at a restaurant, either together or on our own.
 

Day 7
The day is dedicated to your goals with the trip and personal coaching. Maybe there's something special you want to focus on? At the same time, lots of nice pictures are photographed of you daily that you can use freely as you want after the trip.
 

Day 8
Journey home. We take you to the ferry in the morning which you take to Kos to be able to go back home again.
