Meteora – highline & multipitch heaven
March 15, 2017 by Louise in climbing

We’d heard great things about Meteora but nothing could prepare us for seeing it ourselves. By far the craziest place we’ve ever climbed! We were mesmorized as we drove through. Huge conglomerate towers rise up around you, some with monasteries atop them and you’ve 800+ routes to choose from, both single and multipitch, sport and trad on funky pebbly rock. Meteora is also a playground for highliners, with hundreds of towers to rig your line. There was a highline festival here just a few years ago so many towers are bolted and ready for set-up. A truly magical place.
NB for van travellers: wild camping in Meteora is forbidden and police will chase you away. You best bet is just above Meteora on the road towards Vlachava. As you reach the crest of the hill, turn off left for a wild, quiet spot with views over the rolling Thessaly plains.
