Theos Area

Here you'll find four beautiful sectors that make up the quartet known as Theos—meaning "God" in Greek. These picturesque, colorful walls offer fantastic routes, mainly in the French 6s and 7s, with plenty of tufas, jugs, and crimps, all accompanied by a permanent, enchanting view of the sea behind you.
The sectors receive a lot of sun due to their south-facing orientation. However, the right side of the cave offers some shade in the morning thanks to its west-facing aspect, while the right side of the pillar sees late afternoon shade due to its east-facing orientation.

In 2016, Swiss brothers Claude and Yves Rémy equipped these four walls over the course of two trips, with support from the Municipality of Leonidio. Grandmaster Michele Piola, Mike Schreiber, and I continued their work in Theos Cave, helping shape it into what it is today. Later, Erik from Dresden added a number of easier routes on the pillar, which quickly became crowd-pleasers. These lines are now perfect for warming up before heading off to tackle one of the neighboring sectors.
