Meteora - Northeast Faces

The conglomerate towers of Meteora are truly unique in the world, especially with the XIVth century monasteries atop many of them. For climbers, the brittle and technical climbs, mostly developed by German saxons and their ethics of huge runouts, are certain to make a lasting impression. This view showcases many of the major features, including the most classic moderate of the whole area, Pillar of Dreams (line 22) on the spectacular Holy Spirit tower, as well as 4 of the 6 active monasteries.

Special thanks to Vangelis Batsios for his tremendous help and for writing the latest guidebooks for Meteora.
