Cyprus Sport Climbing Guidebook

Description

This is a comprehensive guidebook covering the sport climbing on the island of Cyprus.  It describes over 600 sport routes from secluded and unspoilt mountain areas to rugged coastal cliffs.

It describes 5 main areas, which are; Paphos and Troodos in southern Cyprus; and Famagusta, West Pentadaktylos, and Central Pentadaktylos in Northern Cyprus.  In total there more than 25 crags, with routes across a wide range of grades from low F5s to around F8b+/8c, with many projects still open. This breaks down as follows:

95 routes up to F5c+
130 routes between F6a and F6b+
178 routes between F6c and F7a+
128 routes between F7b and F7c+
96 routes over F8a

All the routes are shown on colour photo topos along with a brief description, the number of quickdraws required and the height.  For each crag there is an approach map and description.  Symbols are then used to indicate the orientation of the crag, style of climbing to be found, and approach time.  There is also a table showing the grade spread for the crag.

Published in 2025 this guidebook is in English text throughout.  20% of all profits from this guidebook are allocated to the Cyprus Climbing Community Development Fund, which supports bolting, rebolting, crag maintenance, infrastructure projects and community events.
