Where is tha upturned indo peeps smuggler boat? No bloody wonder they din't survive that capsize, as a sizeable swell would make the start of any climb there interestin to say tha least.

An since mikl has taken up photogin, I rekon he is just jealous of tha albatross in that pic.
Ay mikl, I'm lookin 4ward to clippin ya mank on tha evil slightly overhung hedland with undacut start in tha background when I go there afta Ur visit.

mikl is in good with Phosphate Resources Limited? Don't let them put you to work! Maybe caving would be a better option?

I would never have wikipediacised this place if not for this photo. If the rocks not all shite the weather certainly is!!! The tourism page has four places of interest listed.

IS that cliff in the distance 100m or 10m? That's my question

Seems the island has some cliffs with actual access too..Im guessing all limestone? New Kalymnos perhaps? (Maybe not)

Google is your friend...

Looks more solid than the coastal stuff?


Google maps view of west coast cliff line...


Google maps view of big south coast cliff line..


But then since the whole place is a Nat park you might have issues with with them..
