Pano Alogopetra (Greek for “Upper Alogopetra”) is a cluster of rock faces in the northern side of the Alogopetra peak, over the village of Fyli. Pano Alogopetra sits on an elevated balcony with grand view over the Fyli valley. On a clear day the eye can wander from the edge of Gkoura canyon down to the Elefsina coast on the south west and the city of Athens on the southeast. This is a great spot to enjoy a fiery winter sunset after a full day of climbing.
The rock is typical limestone ranging in coloration and quality from solid compact gray to sharp mineral-sculptured white/orange. Most routes are free of loose rock. One of the crag’s most appealing qualities is the height of the routes, reaching 35 or even 45-50 meter and guaranteeing long fulfilling ventures on the vertical. Worth noting is that bolts are in some cases not well placed neither well maintained. Keep your eyes open for rusty anchors, awkwardly placed bolts and old or custom-made hangers. Although these are not the norm they certainly do exist.
The cliff is a bird nesting area (including rare birds of prey) and after March it should be treated as such. Scan your chosen line for nests before climbing and choose another climbing area if you observe bird activity that indicates the existence of nests.
