Greece, Kalymnos Island. Kalymnos Autumn rockclimbing Program of MCS AlexClimb
The rockclimbing program on the Greek island Kalimnos - one of the most successful, comfortable and popular thematic rockclimbing programs of MCS AlexClimb School of rockclimbing. The rockclimbing Autumn on Kalymnos is the most refined, romantic and quiet season on the island. Rockclimbing on Kalymnos in the fall is much more quietly and more peacefull, the majority of routes which are so crowded in May are not occupyed, the flow of rockclimbers is more distributed on time and there is even no remote feeling of that vanity which absorbs Kalymnos in May. It is enough to add to this pacification steadily good, not hot and dry weather, abundance of fresh fruit, an unlimited choice of unique and safe routes for rockclimbing, the warm sea ideal for bathing - having put all this, as a result you receive ideal time and place for your climbing vacation - island Kalimnos, an ideal corner of our planet for rockclimbing on fresh sea air, under inexhaustible shine of the Hellas sun. We invite everyone who is interested in rockclimbing and mountaineering to take part in our 12 days rockclimbing program in Kalymnos (Greece). It would be interesting for climbers of any competence! This program consists of two different parts mixed with each other – rockclimbing in various climbing locations of Kalymnos Island and visiting the most interesting historical and sightseeing location which are quite numerous in Kalymnos. 12 days of rockclimbing and sightseeing excursions around all the Island of Kalymnos. Our basic location for this program is the village not far from Potia , where we live in the comfortable rooms in the best natural environment.
Planning the trip, we take as basis our standard rockclimbing 12 days variant which allows us to combine climbing with sightseeing and recreations. We do not limit ourselves to just climbing rocks - for us it is more than sport - it is our way of life - active, bright and full of adventures!
This 12 days rockclimibng program is developed for people, who have small rock climbing experience or have none at all and who would like to try what is rockclimbing. For participation in this program we recommend to take a brief AlexClimb Course of indoor rockclimbing in Moscow to get the basic climbing skills before the beginning of the rockclimbing program in Kalymnos.

Day 9 - Day of rest, morning exercises, sea bathing, breakfast, excursion to Telendos Island (rock climbing training is possible), sea bathing, dinner. There is now one more day of rest. Today we will leave for a while our hospitable Kalymnos to take a detached view of it - from the opposite small island called Telendos - even more pacified and deserted - there is only less than one hundred inhabitants... On Telendos we plan small walk, but for especially zealous this day it is possible to arrange also a rockclimbing training - but it is necessary to calculate forces - as ahead - two more days of full and very active rockclimbing!

Our Principles
AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First
From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
