Private Guiding

A female climber, wearing a white helmet and climbing gear, is seen scaling a steep sandstone rock face. She is focused, with one hand gripping a hold and the other reaching for the next, while her feet are firmly placed on small ledges. The landscape around her is arid and rocky, with patches of dry grass and large boulders scattered across the terrain. In the background, the view extends to the horizon, where the sea meets the sky, creating a sense of height and vastness. The scene captures the challenging nature of summer climbing in the rugged Akamas region of Cyprus.

A climber, wearing a white helmet and a white T-shirt, is engaged in a chimney climb, wedged between two vertical rock faces.

The climber is secured with a rope, clipped to protection points above him, ensuring safety during this challenging ascent. The rough texture of the rock walls around him highlights the ruggedness of the climb. The scene takes place in Drousheia, Cyprus, where guided climbing is being undertaken.
