The rock of Exombourgo is considered the largest boulder area in Europe
Certainly, when you get on the ship for Tinos, you cannot imagine that
you are going to a rising Greek destination regarding the climbing and
bouldering. Unless you are a fan who has done his homework. If not,
the time has come for you to enrich your knowledge on the Tinian activities
and learn that the specific sports are a trend in the island and
also that they attract a lot of tourists gaining constantly ground on their
preferences.
Climbing, the “new” one
The last few years, together with the diverse Tinian landscape, new
sports are also unfolded on the island, such as rock climbing. A climbing
area in Tinos was formed in 2007 by known Greek climbers at the
steep slope of Exombourgo hill and with the help of a program of the
European Union. If not a lifetime experience, climbing on the granite
boulder of special quality which supervises the lower parts of Tinos, is
incredible!
In order to reach safely the top and admire the unimpeded, panoramic
view, you will ascend without any mechanical help, by carrying special
equipment, with proper technique-movement of your body and having
got the necessary training for your optimal safety. At the organized
climbing areas, there are permanent metallic safety locks in specific
routes on the rock from with the climber passes his rope.
Bouldering at the lower parts
If the use of rope is required for climbing at high rocks, bouldering at low
rocks of up to 5m high is realized only with the help of special mattresses
which provide safety. Bouldering is an activity that became known in the
beginning of the 90’s by the best -perhaps- climber worldwide, Chris
Sharma. At this moment, the countless granite rocks at Volax and Livada
villages have made Tinos a famous destination for the lovers of the sport
while the rock of Exombourgo is considered the largest boulder area in
Europe.
Climb Exombourgo
Aiming at the promotion of the original sport which takes place around
Xombourgo, Climb Exombourgo team has gathered rich material
and information on the most of the almost 90 existing routes while it
collects useful information related to practical issues such as climbers’
accommodation, transportation and access. At the same time, it has
cleaned certain sections from vegetation while it maintained the metallic
steps which are used for the transition from one section to the other.
Ultimate goal of all these actions is the meeting of even more friends
at Exombourgo
