Climbing in Athens, Greece: Tremoulo 7c+, Chaos

Eirini Tsape climbs the ultra classic route "Tremoulo" in the beautiful Chaos crater next to Lavrio nearby Athens, Greece.
Stereotypical for the whole crag, the route climbs in vertical to very slightly overhanging terrain and leads you through fantastic sequences on perfectly spaced and shaped crimps.
A visit to this crag is a must do for anyone climbing in the Athens area, who doesn't mind that the warm-up is a 6c.
For me, from a film making perspective, making this video was an exercise in rigging for filming, handheld shooting on the wall and gimbal work. Props to Eirini, who was ready to put in the effort to get on the route again and take some good whippers, after having sent it already, to collect the extra footage needed for close-up overlays.

Nice climbing

im a noobie with climbing, but if she would fall, she would hit her head, rope should be always between the legs if possible

Hey there fellow climber! Thanks for your concern and for taking the time to voice it. I actually went and re-watched the whole video and couldn't find any situation, where the rope was in a dangerous position. The notion of "the rope should be always between the legs" is a bit of an oversimplification I have mostly heard climbers, who are not actually trained instructors, tell to their friends who are new climbers. The actual thing you need to look out for is, that in case you fall ,your leg doesn't get caught behind the rope (as in between the rope and the wall). Since gravity makes sure, that a fall will take you downwards, to have the rope between the legs, while you are climbing off to the side of the bolt-line might actually be exactly what will get your leg stuck behind the rope, which will then flip you upside down and make you hit your head. As far as my opinion goes, during this climb, Eirini demonstrated perfectly how to do this safely and correctly.

@@SendingForTheTeam all of the climbing fails I saw on youtube with head down fall start from having rope from the wrong side of the leg, maybe its the way bolts are placed there, I'm a new climber but my trainer says the same thing

@@lipczan That makes climbing absolutely imppossible, rope can't be between your legs all the time, lines don't go like that and you'll realize quick. She climbs safe during the whole climb. Rope should never be BEHIND your legs because if you fall down you'll flip upside down. Your instructor should explain this better honestly
