    Well I seem to be taking a while to sort my Kalymnos vids, but here's a bit of a roundup of day 3 of a fantastic trip. Gammos is a new crag near Arginonta Valley, a short walk-in from Arginonta beach and well worth the visit. The lines were nice, the belay stances good, and plenty in the low-mid grades to play on. One of the more memorable features of the day, apart from finding my own flow, was Yoshi in beast-mode, following literally everything I climbed - including Pethera, which was by far the hardest route of the day and a serious challenge to onsight! #Climbing #Kalymnos #SportClimbing #LimestoneClimbing #ClimbingIsMyPassion #TryHard #NewCrags

    Not sure how active the rope solo scene is on fedi, but I figure I'd ask. There's been quite a bit of discussion over the years about various systems, but the modern consensus seems to be to use two progress capture devices on a single (or dual) fixed line, with one suspended higher than the other via use of a neck strap or chest harness. By far (at least in North America) the consensus seems to be to use the Petzl Microtraxion. The Edelrid Spoc seems to be a good alternative, is both lighter and cheaper, and is also mentioned occasionally in discussions about TRS. Brent Barghahn is seen in this photo in a double-Spoc setup: [image: 1733628906847-1000006397.jpg] Any potential problems I should be considering?
