Jamais les élections présidentielles en Roumanie n'auront autant suscité l'attention internationale. De l'Europe aux États-Unis, tous les projecteurs sont braqués sur la possible victoire du candidat d'extrême droite George Simion. Le scrutin a été bousculé, par l'invalidation d'un premier scrutin et pour manipulation des réseaux sociaux en faveur d'un autre candidat lui aussi souverainiste et populiste... Calin Georgescu. Climat tendu donc, alors qu'en toile de fond de la campagne, on a vu ressurgir des attaques à la fois contre la communauté rom et juive. À l'origine de ces menaces, des mouvements néo-légionnaires qui s'inspirent directement des partis fascistes de l'entre-deux guerres. Reportage à Bucarest de Marine Leduc. L'analyse de Traian Sandu, historien spécialiste de la Roumanie, enseignant à l'Université Sorbonne nouvelle. La revue de presse sonore de Franceline Beretti Un livre blanc sur la politique migratoire, c'est par ce biais que le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer a annoncé un durcissement drastique de sa politique. Le chef du gouvernement travailliste veut réduire significativement l'immigration légale dans son pays. C'est le premier sujet qui a retenu votre attention dans votre revue de presse de la semaine, et on peut dire que la presse de gauche ne pardonne pas vraiment ce tournant à 180 degrés. Kalymnos et les éponges disparues C'est une petite île grecque qui concentre sur ses côtes l'histoire du réchauffement climatique et de la mondialisation. Tout près de la Turquie, Kalymnos a longtemps été appelée l'île des pêcheurs d'éponges mais, dans les années 80, une maladie a ravagé les éponges sous-marines. Aujourd'hui, le commerce se maintient, mais les éponges sont presque toutes importées du continent américain... Pendant la période de Pâques, Kalymnos continue tout de même à célébrer une tradition presque disparue... Reportage à Kalymnos signé Joël Bronner.

Eating lamb is inextricably linked to the Resurrection, symbolising Christ's sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. - Η κατανάλωση αρνιού είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με την Ανάσταση, συμβολίζοντας τη θυσία του Χριστού για τη σωτηρία της ανθρωπότητας.
This episode is a bit of a departure from the objective approach to geology of past episodes in that here we address the subjective nature of various rocks as experienced by a rock climber with a literary bent. A rock climber's very survival can depend on the properties of a rock encountered along a climbing route. This engenders a uniquely intense relationship between climber and rock. Anna Fleming has written perceptively about this intense relationship gained from climbing in Britain and the Mediterranean. In a book entitled Time on Rock, she writes about her experiences climbing gritstone in England's Peak District, slate in the disused slate quarries of North Wales, gabbro and granite on the Isle of Skye, sandstone on the northeast coast of Scotland, and limestone cliffs on the Greek island of Kalymnos, among others.
Rania Samartzis- born in NYC, moved to Athens, Greece until I was 8 yo, then moved to Port Richey, FL and currently living in Palm Harbor,FL. My mom is from Kastoria (Macedonia) and my dad is Athenian (his mom from Smyrna & his dad from Thiva). I started dancing when i was in school in Greece as part of the school curriculum, then when we moved to Florida with my family, i joined the local church dance group with my brother. As my brother went into college, the group did not have a college dance group so he ventured out to the next local dance group - in tarpon Springs.. Levendia! I joined him shortly after. I have been a part of Levendia (of the St. Nicholas Dance Ministry) for about 15 years now. This year teach the middle/high school group along with Mike. I've taught the High School/College groups for several years and this year I also help with the adult group with Maria Kouskoutis as the main instructor. Nomikos “Mike” Kambourakis Born in Kalymnos, Greece - raised in Tarpon Springs, FL! Greek folklore has been a part of my life since I was a baby. My great grandfather Nikitas Tsimouris played the Tsampouna and would play all the time accompanied by his wife (my great yiayia) Nomiki and his 4 sisters singing at the house. I started dancing with Levendia in the first grade and was hooked since as it “ran through my veins” and ive been dancing since. This year I am teaching the middle/high school group of the St. Nicholas Dance ministry. Music courtesy of Panayotis League
Ian Dunt on the Scots new push for independence & the Tories byelection spanking.
One of the lesser known Greek islands is Kalymnos, on the eastern side of the Aegean. Last weekend the island had a significant event – the launch of a Greek language edition of a book that was first published in English in 1955. The local population has only recently learnt of the existence of 'Mermaid singing', an account of life on Kalymnos. It was written by Australian author Charmian Clift, who spent time there with her husband George Johnston and their two children, before they relocated to the island of Hydra.
Dr. David Sutton returns to explore the politics of food and commensality, or eating together, on the Greek island of Kalymnos, both as a way of connecting the past and present and as a form of resistance against external cultural pressures.
What "resiliency" and Florida's fight against rising sea levels and climate change means to you and what it means to Ron DeSantis are likely two very different things. Craig examined the governor's narrow, contractor-first approach to "resiliency" in a recent column.Our guest today is Panayotis (Paddy) League, Assistant Professor of Musicology and Director of the Center for Music of the Americas at the Florida State University School of Music. He specializes in the traditional music of the Greek islands and spent part of his boyhood with the Greek community at Tarpon Springs.in 2019 was named a Master Artist by the Florida Folklife Program for his work performing and teaching the traditional music and oral poetry of Kalymnos in the Greek immigrant community of Tarpon Springs.He is a performer, composer, recording artist and has written numerous papers, books and commentaries about Greek culture and history, including its connection to the American South and Florida. This week's episode is presented by Visit Sarasota where you'll find one of the state's best native plant nurseries.
Panayotis (Paddy) League is a performer, composer, ethnomusicologist, and author specializing in the traditional music, oral poetry, and dance of the Greek Aegean islands (as well as Northeast Brazil, the West of Ireland, and the wide world of electric guitar music). He focuses in particular on the violin, laouto (steel-string lute), and tsambouna (goatskin bagpipe) music of Kalymnos and Western Crete, performing and recording throughout Greece and the diaspora and publishing widely in academic and popular journals and online spaces. His book Echoes of the Great Catastrophe: Re-Sounding Anatolian Greekness in Diaspora, recently published by University of Michigan Press, explores the legacy of Late Ottoman intercommunality in the music and dance practices of the descendants of Greek refugees from Asia Minor. Panayotis is Assistant Professor of Musicology at Florida State University and serves as Director of the Center for Music of the Americas. He was recently named a Master Artist by the Florida Folklife Program for his work developing and disseminating the art of Kalymnian vocal and instrumental music in his home community of Tarpon Springs, Florida.

Charmian Clift left London in 1954 with her husband and children to live on the Greek island of Kalymnos. The following year, they moved to Hydra where they were the forerunners of a bohemian artist community. Leonard Cohen stayed with them when he first visited the island. Her vivid memoirs of this time have been beautifully reissued by Muswell Press with forwards by Polly Samson. In Samson's 2020 novel, A Theatre for Dreamers, Charmian Clift is a central character.Mermaid Singing and Peel Me a Lotus are personal and travel memoirs that feel as fresh and crisp as when they were written but also serve as time travel, back to a time before mass travel. Inspired by one of the lines that the fictional Charmian said in A Theatre for Dreamers, Polly Samson wrote the lyrics to the song Yes, I Have Ghosts, sung here by her husband, Pink Floyd vocalist and guitarist David Gilmour and their daughter Romany Gilmour. @PollySamson @MuswellPress muswell-press.co.uk pollysamson.com

Maria, a native of the Chicago-land area, sat down with us to share a bit about dance in the 1970s, her experiences as an instructor and her love for dances from Kalymnos.
Sponges are some 8,000 species of animals that grow in the sea that lack tissues and organs. Fossil records go back over 500 million years and they are found throughout the world. Two types of sponges are soft and can be used to hold water that can then be squeezed out or used to clean. Homer wrote about using Sponges as far back as the 7th century BCE, in the Odyssey. Hephaestus cleaned his hands with one - much as you and I do today. Aristotle, Plato, the Romans, even Jesus Christ all discussed cleaning with sponges. And many likely came from places like the Greek island of Kalymnos, where people have harvested and cultivated sponges in the ocean since that time. They would sail boats with glass bottoms looking for sponges and then dive into the water, long before humans discovered diving equipment, carrying a weight, cut the sponge and toss it into a net. Great divers could stay on the floor of the sea for up to 5 minutes. Some 2,600 years after Homer, diving for sponges was still very much alive and well in the area. The people of Kalymnos have been ruled by various Greek city states, the Roman Empire, the Byzantines, Venetians, and still in 1900, the Ottomans. Archaeologist Charles Newton had excavated a Temple of Apollo on the island in the 1850s just before he'd then gone to Turkey to excavate one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, built by Mausolus - such a grand tomb that we still call buildings that are tombs mausoleums in his honor, to this day. But 1900 was the dawn of a new age. Kalymnos had grown to nearly 1,000 souls. Proud of their Greek heritage, the people of the island didn't really care what world power claimed their lands. They carved out a life in the sea, grew food and citrus, drank well, made head scarfs, and despite the waning Ottomon rule, practiced Orthodox Christianity. The sponges were still harvested from the floor of the sea rather than made from synthetic petroleum products. Captain Dimitrios Kontos and his team of sponge divers are sailing home from a successful run to the Symi island, just as they'd done for thousands of years, when someone spots something. They were off the coast of Antikythera, another Greek island that has been inhabited since the 4th or 5th millennia BCE, which had been a base for Cilician pirates from the 4th to 1st centuries BCE and at the time the southern most point in Greece. They dove down and after hearing stories from the previous archaeological expedition, knew they were on to something. Something old. They brought back a few smaller artifacts like a bronze arm - as proof of their find, noting the seabed was littered with statues that looked like corpses. They recorded the location and returned home. They went to the Greek government in Athens, thinking they might get a reward for the find, where Professor Ikonomu took them to meet with the Minister of Education, Spyriodon, Stais. He offered to have his divers bring up the treasure in exchange for pay equal to the value of the plunder and the Greek government sent a ship to help winch up the treasures. They brought up bronze and marble statues, and pottery. When they realized the haul was bigger than they thought, the navy sent a second ship. They used diving suits, just as those were emerging technology. One diver died. The ship turned out to be over 50 meters and the wreckage strewn across 300 meters. The shipwreck happened somewhere between 80 and 50 BCE. It was carrying cargo from Asia Minor probably to Rome, sank not by pirates, which had just recently been cleared from the area but likely crashed during a storm. There are older shipwrecks, such as the Dokos from around 2200 BCE and just 60 miles east of Sparta, but few have given up as precious of cargo. We still don't know how the ship came to be where it was but there is speculation that it was sailing from Rhodes to Rome, for a parade marking victories of Julius Caesar. Everything brought up went on to live at the National Museum of Archaeology in Athens. There were fascinating treasures to be cataloged and so it isn't surprising that between the bronze statues, the huge marble statues of horses, glassware, and other Greek treasures that a small corroded bronze lump in a wooden box would go unloved. That is, until archaeologist Valerios Stais noticed a gear wheel in it. He thought it must belong to an ancient clock, but that was far too complex for the Greeks. Or was it? It is well documented that Archimedes had been developing the use of gearwheels. And Hero of Alexandria had supposedly developed a number of great mechanical devices while at the Library of Alexandria. Kalymnos was taken by Italians in the Italo-Turkish War in 1912. World War I came and went. After the war, the Ottoman Empire fell and with Turkish nationalists taking control, they went to war with Greece. The Ottoman Turks killed between 750,000 and 900,000 Greeks. The Second Hellenic Republic came and went. World War II came and went. And Kylamnos was finally returned to Greece from Italy. With so much unrest, archeology wasn't on nearly as many minds. But after the end of World War II, a British historian of science who was teaching at Yale at the time, took interest in the device. His name was Derek de Solla Price. In her book, Decoding the Heavens, Jo Marchant takes us through a hundred year journey where scientists and archaeologists use the most modern technology available to them at the time to document the device and publish theories as to what it could have been used for. This began with drawings and moved into X-ray technology becoming better and more precise with each generation. And this mirrors other sciences. We make observations, or theories, as to the nature of the universe only to be proven right or wrong when the technology of the next generation uncovers more clues. It's a great book and a great look at the history of archaeology available in different stages of the 19th century. She tells of times before World War II, when John Svoronos and Adolf Wilhelm uncovered the first inscriptions and when Pericles Redials was certain the device was a navigational instrument used to sail the ship. She tells of Theophanidis publishing a theory it might be driven by a water clock in 1934. She weaves in Jeaques Cousteau and Maria Savvatianou and Gladys Weinberg and Peter Throckmorton and Price and Wang Ling and Arthur C. Clarke and nuclear physicist Charalambos Karakolos and Judith Field and Michael Wright and Allan Bromley and Alan Crawley and Mike Edmunds and Tony Freeth and Nastulus, a tenth century astronomer in Baghdad. Reverse engineering the 37 gears took a long time. I mean, figuring up the number of teeth per gear, how they intersected, what drove them, and then trying to figure out why this prime number or what calendar cycle this other thing might have represented. Because the orbit isn't exactly perfect and the earth is tilted and all kinds of stuff. Each person unraveled their own piece and it's a fantastic journey through history and discovery. So read the book and we'll skip to what exactly the Antikypthera Device was. Some thought it an astrolabe, which had begun use around 200 BCE - and which measured the altitude of the sun or stars to help sailors navigate the seas. Not quite. Some theorized it was a clock, but not the kind we use to tell time today. More to measure aspects of the celestial bodies than minutes. After generations of scientists studied it, most of the secrets of the device are now known. We know it was an orrery - a mechanical model of the solar system. It was an analog computer, driven by a crank, and predicted the positions of various celestial bodies and when eclipses would occur many, many decades in advance - and on a 19 year cycle that was borrowed from cultures far older than the Greeks. The device would have had some kind of indicator, like gems or glass orbs that moved around representing the movements of Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus. It showed the movements of the sun and moon, representing the 365 days of the year as a solar calendar and the 19-year lunar cycle inherited from the Babylonians - and those were plotted relative to the zodiac, or 12 constellations. It forecast eclipses and the color of each eclipse. And phases of the moon. Oh and for good measure it also tracked when the Olympic Games were held. About that one more thing with calculating the Olympiad - One aspect of the device that I love, and most clockwork devices in fact, is the analogy that can be made to a modern micro service architecture in software design. Think of a wheel in clockwork. Then think of each wheel being a small service or class of code. That triggers the next and so-on. The difference being any service could call any other and wouldn't need a shaft or the teeth of only one other wheel to interact - or even differential gearing. Reading the story of decoding the device, it almost feels like trying to decode someone else's code across all those services. I happen to believe that most of the stories of gods are true. Just exaggerated a bit. There probably was a person named Odin with a son named Thor or a battle of the Ten Kings in India. I don't believe any of them were supernatural but that over time their legends grew. Those legends often start to include that which the science of a period cannot explain. The more that science explains, the less of those legends, or gods, that we need. And here's the thing. I don't think something like this just appears out of nowhere. It's not the kind of thing a lone actor builds in a workshop in Rhodes. It's the kind of device that evolves over time. One great crafter adds another idea and another philosopher influences another. There could have been a dozen or two dozen that evolved over time, the others lost to history. Maybe melted down to forge bronze weapons, hiding in a private collection, or sitting in a shipwreck or temple elsewhere, waiting to be discovered. The Greek philosopher Thales was said to have built a golden orb. Hipparchus of Rhodes was a great astronomer. The Antikythera device was likely built between 200 and 100 BC, when he would have been alive. Was he consulted on during the creation, or involved? Between Thales and Hipparchus, we got Archimedes, Euclid, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Philo, Ctesibius, and so many others. Their books would be in the Library of Alexandria for anyone to read. You could learn of the increasingly complicated Ctesibius water clocks along with their alarms or the geometry of Euclid or the inventions of Philo. Or you could read about how Archimedes continued that work and added a chime. We can assign the device to any of them - or its' heritage. And we can assume that as with legends of the gods, it was an evolution of science, mathematics, and engineering. And that the science and technology wasn't lost, as has been argued, but instead moved around as great thinkers moved around. Just as the water clock had been in use since nearly 4000 BCE in modern day India and China and become increasingly complicated over time until the Greeks called them clepsydra and anaphoric clocks. Yet replacing water with gears wasn't considered for awhile. Just as it took Boolean algebra and flip-flop circuits to bring us into the age of binary and then digital computing. The power of these analog computers could have allowed for simple mathematic devices, like deriving angles or fractions when building. But given that people gotta' eat and ancient calculation devices and maps of the heavens helped guide when to plant crops, that was first in the maslovian hierarchy of technological determinism. So until our next episode consider this: what technology is lying dormant at the bottom of the sea in your closet. Buried under silt but waiting to be dug up by intrepid divers and put into use again, in a new form. What is the next generation of technical innovation for each of the specialties you see? Maybe it helps people plant crops more effectively, this time using digital imagery to plot where to place a seed. Or maybe it's to help people zero in on information that matters or open trouble tickets more effectively or share their discoveries or claim them or who knows - but I look forward to finding out what you come up with and hopefully some day telling the origin story of that innovation!

¿Cuando empieza el viaje? La mayoría de nosotros estamos deseando que lleguen por fin esas vacaciones, ese viaje en el que vamos a escalar en el paraíso de roca y dormir en el campo con nuestros amigos, compartiendo lo que más nos gusta, la roca y la naturaleza. Si eres como yo, y has disfrutado tus mejores días en la roca de viaje, querrás estar a tope, bien preparado y que no haya contratiempos que te hagan perderte un ápice del disfrute. ¿Cuando empiezan los viajes? ¿El día que coges la furgo o el avión? ¡Para mi los viajes suelen empezar en un bar! Con un amigo, probablemente viendo una foto o un video en internet. Joder,¿y si nos vamos pallá este verano? Y sin darte cuenta, el viaje ya ha empezado, la semilla. Al día siguiente en el curro estás destrangis buscando croquis de la escuela, viendo fotos, mirando el 8a.nu para localizar los clásicos. ¡Ya estás de viaje! Y lo mejor es que ahora tienes tiempo para prepararte como dios manda. La sensación de llegar a un viaje y estar en tu mejor momento de forma es algo increíble. Una buena racha de rendimiento y disfrute en un sitio idílico es una de las mejores sensaciones que puedes tener como escalador. Por eso voy a hablarte de unos cuantos factores que pueden ayudarte a aprovechar ese viaje con más intensidad y disfrute si cabe! Mejora tu forma física de cara al viaje Vamos con el primero! La forma física. Si sigues un plan de entrenamiento tendrás planificadas las semanas de antes del viaje como ciclo de descarga y si has hecho tus deberes sentirás superpoderes en la roca. Pero… Y si como muchos no sigues una planificación del entrenamiento o directamente no entrenas. ¿Hay algo que pueda hacer para poder llegar con mejor forma? ¡Por supuesto! Y es bien sencillo, se basa en el principio de especificidad. Algo que puedes hacer durante las semanas previas a tu viaje es intentar imitar en tu entrenamiento las condiciones que vas a encontrarte en la roca. Suele pasar que pasas de entrenar 2 horas en el roco un par de días en semana a escalar en roca el día entero durante 5 o 10 días seguidos, y claro es normal que tu cuerpo entre en shock. Para imitar bien estas condiciones y acostumbrar a tu cuerpo a las largas sesiones en la roca, te recomiendo que aumentes el volumen de vías o bloques y bajes un poco el grado de estos. Si puedes, en las últimas semanas intenta ir al roco 4 o 5 veces en vez de 2 o 3, e intenta meter un buen volumen de vías o bloques. Así vas a conseguir que tu cuerpo se adapte a este volumen y podrás disfrutar más de los largos días de roca! Pero de nada te vale hacer esto y llegar al viaje super fatigado, así que te recomiendo que las últimas dos sesiones las hagas más cortas y con más intensidad. Sé que son consejos muy generales, pero parto de la base de que no llevas un entrenamiento planificado, sino como ya he dicho, hablaríamos de un enfoque muy distinto. Para seguir con el principio de especificidad, estas sesiones de mucho volumen, intenta adaptarlas al estilo de roca que vas a encontrar a donde vayas. Por ejemplo, si fueras a Kalymnos, busca vías largas y desplomadas, y coger la mayor cantidad de pinzas que puedas. Practica circuitos de más de 60 movimientos en desplome, la idea es imitar lo que te vas a encontrar lo más que puedas. Si fueras a Margalef sin embargo, intenta centrarte en agarres tipo agujero en extensión de uno, dos o tres dedos; y busca circuitos más cortos, de 20-30 movimientos. Mejora tu habilidad de escalar a vista El segundo factor a entrenar antes de un viaje es tu habilidad para escalar a vista. Normalmente en un viaje vas intentar escalar muchas muchas vías a vista y disfrutar de este estilo, quizás combinándolo con algún proyecto aislado. Pero estarás de acuerdo conmigo en que no vas a irte de vacaciones a una escuela nueva para escalar solo la misma vía por innumerables pegues. Si es así, entonces escalar a vista se convierte en una habilidad que quieres dominar. Para mejorar a vista es importantísimo que mejores la habilidad de leer vías o secuencias desde abajo, y que seas capaz de visualizarte escalándolas. Los días que salgas a roca durante la preparación de tu viaje, acostúmbrate a leer la vía antes de poner los pies en la roca. Intenta descifrar el mayor número de movimientos que puedas, dónde está el paso clave, dónde están los reposos, intenta entender desde dónde vas a ir chapando. Y una vez que tengas toda la información posible realiza una estrategia, determina dónde tienes que escalar rápido y de forma deliberada y donde tienes reposos en los que respirar y soltar. Una vez que empieces a escalar, cíñete al plan cuando estés escalando y se flexible en los reposos. Con esto quiero decirte que intentes no dudar y escalar a tirones tocando cada presa infinitas veces para encontrar la posición perfecta. A vista raras veces vas a encontrar la posición perfecta, asúmelo, y escala de forma deliberada entre reposos, y es en estos donde puedes recopilar más información y replantear tu estrategia para la siguiente sección. Si encuentras que has leído mal una secuencia, a veces es más eficiente destrepar al último reposo y replantear la estrategia que intentar rectificarla sobre la marcha. Por último escala con fé, jajajaja, con esto quiero decirte que adoptes la mentalidad de que vas a encontrar un mejor canto, o un buen reposo arriba, no te centres en el estrés o la incomodidad del momento. Dado que no sabes realmente con qué te vas a encontrar, es mucho mejor mantener una actitud optimista que va a llevar a escalar más rápido y dinámico que la contraria. Y para terminar con esta habilidad, cuando bajes, tanto si encadenas como si no, analiza qué ha ido bien y qué ha ido mal para aprender y refinar tu habilidad de leer vías. Aprende a gestionar tu piel ¿Qué piensas de la piel? Una de las sensaciones más frustrantes que he llegado a tener es estar a tope físicamente, en un día de condiciones perfectas, y no poder escalar bien porque mi piel estaba totalmente reventada e hiper-sensible. La piel es un factor que normalmente no se tiene en cuenta, pero que si ya has hecho alguna vez un viaje, habrás experimentado la importancia que tiene. Frente a esto hay dos estrategias que puedes realizar. La primera es prevenir, es decir, condicionar a tu piel para estar en buenas condiciones y regenerar rápido. Para esto, aumentar el volumen de escalada a 4-5 días a la semana te va a ayudar, sobre todo si aumentas el volumen de movimientos en esas sesiones. La segunda es curar... hacerte con una buena crema y aplicarla rigurosamente después de cada sesión, con las manos bien lavadas. Pero aun haciendo esto, lo más normal es que en un viaje la piel te dure menos de lo que te dura la fuerza, y por eso puedes adoptar las siguientes tácticas. Aprende a vendarte los dedos para salvar la piel cuando la tienes sensible. Se puede hacer incluso con las yemas, y si bien es cierto que pierdes algo de sensibilidad, te va a permitir seguir escalando. Cuando estoy fastidiado con la piel me la vendo bien en los calentamientos y pegues de ensayo, y utilizo lo poco que tengo en el pegue a muerte, cuando las condiciones son buenas. En cualquier caso, lo que te quiero transmitir es que pienses en la piel como en un recurso limitado durante un viaje, y la trates con cabeza para que no te falte cuando más lo necesitas. Habitúate al nuevo estilo de escalada Y ahora vamos con la cabeza. Todo lo que te he contado es superfluo si al llegar, las vías son más largas y expuestas de lo que estás acostumbrado y el miedo te paraliza. Empieza suave el primer día e intenta meter un buen número de vuelos, de forma gradual. Quieres acostumbrarte mentalmente al nuevo estilo y es muy importante que te habitúes a las condiciones y vuelos desde el primer día, para no estar constantemente lidiando con algo que podrías haber atacado desde el principio y de cabeza. Planifica bien el viaje Un factor clave es la logística, no es algo que se entrene en el plafón, pero prestarle buena atención va a tener un impacto enorme en tu experiencia en la roca. Los viajes tienen la habilidad de poder convertirse en la mejor y la peor de las experiencias, y la planificación que hayas hecho va a tener un papel crucial en esto, así que voy con unos cuantos consejillos! Escoge el destino con cabeza, da igual que sea el sitio de moda, que si no hay una buena cantidad de vías de un grado asequible para ti puede ser muy frustrante. Asegurate de que la escuela y los sectores a los que quieres ir son adecuados a la época del año de tu viaje. Hay escuelas cojonudas para verano que en otoño pueden ser un auténtico infierno… Asegúrate de saber bien dónde vas a escalar, lo mejor es contactar con gente local vía facebook o foros de escalada para tener información de primera mano Equípate de acuerdo al sitio que vas. Chequea la longitud de tu cuerda y las vías. Escoge ropa adecuada a las condiciones que va a hacer. Presta atención al calzado, si las aproximaciones son largas y complicadas y vas en chanclas, puede que un esguince te arruine tus ansiadas vacaciones. Planea bien como vas a moverte entre sectores y escuelas. Puede que necesites alquilar un coche… Puede que no haya agua cerca y tengas que cargar muchas cosas, en fin, saber de antemano como moverse, donde conseguir agua y comida, y donde dormir, son cosas muy básicas, pero con el potencial de arruinarte la experiencia… Ah y se me olvidaba. Localiza el bar más próximo! Tienes que tener un sitio para celebrar tus encadenes Para terminar chequea antes de salir que te llevas todo el material. No sería la primera vez que llego a un sector para descubrir que un amigo o yo mismo nos hemos dejado el arnés o los gatos. ¡Que no te pase esto en mitad de la selva cuando no tengas posibilidades de comprarte unos nuevos! Llega a tope de energía Y el último factor que voy a comentar es la motivación. Conforme más motivada estés, mejor vas a hacer tu preparación y más vas a aprovechar el viaje. Consigue la guía por adelantado, bichea videos en youtube, contacta con gente local. Ponte algún objetivo con nombre y apellidos, hoy en día hay un montón de información sobre las vías para saber de antemano cuales te van a gustar más! Pero eso sí! No intentes escalarlo todo el primer día! En uno de mis primeros viajes estaba tan emocionado que me reventé el primer día y luego fui arrastrándome los 3 restantes. Nadie como tú para saber cuanto es demasiado. Escucha a tu cuerpo… Pero sobre todo disfruta, disfruta a tope! Haz lo que quieras, pero disfrútalo Cuando echas la vista atrás no te acuerdas de los pies de gato nuevos que tanto querías, ni siquiera de la campervan para la que llevas ahorrando 4 años, recuerdas las experiencias, los viajes que compartes con los que más quieres, aquella vez que fuiste a Grecia y escalaste en esa bóveda increíble. Cuando estabas en el acantilado y tenías a 20 delfines surfeando detrás tuya… Y las noches con la hoguera crepitando mientras cada uno revivía su experiencia del día… Esto es por lo que yo viajo, y nada de lo que he dicho hoy tiene sentido si no disfrutas de tu experiencia. Así que entrena o no entrenes, encadena o arrástrate por las vías, ve a cuerpo de rey u olvídate la comida y el agua, pero... no te olvides de disfrutar! Eso nunca Si te ha gustado por favor suscríbete, me puedes encontrar en Ivoox, Itunes, Spotify y en Youtube y por supuesto en rockandjoy.com, comparte y deja un comentario, estaré encantado de responderte. El mundo es tu rocódromo, sal ahí fuera y disfrútalo!
Ich frag mi immer no, was diä Iheimischä uf Kalymnos de ganz Tag so machä.
Grecka wyspa Kalymnos to jedno z najlepszych na świecie miejsc do praktykowania wspinaczki. Piotr Sztaba ze szkoły wspinania Kilimanjaro opowiada o tym jak zorganizować wyjazd w to miejsce oraz tłumaczy fenomen popularności sportu wspinaczkowego.
Ich bi grad i dä Chlätterferiä und beobachtä underschidlichi Kategoriä vo Tourischtä.
Niall Grimes reads his own story about a trip to Kalymnos where he gets to hang out with some famous climbers: Ben Moon, Yuji Hirayama, Alex Megos, Jibe Tribout, Boone Speed, and some famous climbers he hadn't heard of before.
Her trip consisted of: Obstacle Racing World Champs in England - (PS She won the 3K and Women's Team Events) Rock climbing in Kalymnos, Greece Trifecta World Championships in Greece (PS She finished 2nd) Pit crew/cheer on friends at Spartan Iceland Red Bull All In - Germany (PS She won this one too)
"Fritt fall rett i bakken på den ruten jeg klatret og knuste det meste av bein" forteller Rannveig om episoden når hun i 2012 falt 16 meter rett i bakken og knuste begge anklene med sener, noen brudd i ryggen og 2 brudd i bekkenet samt knuste tenner. I dagens episode snakker jeg med Rannveig Aamodt som er en norsk fjellklatrer, fotograf og foredragsholder som tilbringer sin tid i Norge og Colorado. Hun tilbringte vinteren 2006 til å gå fra sør til nord i Norge en selvforsynt tur på hele 3 900 km som tok 4 mnd. Jeg har hatt en hel rekke spennende og unike gjester i både Ekstrempodden og Mentaltrener podcasten der mange har hatt noen inspirerende og gripende historier. Historien og måten Rannveig tenker på livet etter ulykken gjorde et stort inntrykk på undertegnede. Det å reise seg opp og fortsette å følge drømmen sin etter så stygt fall er helt rått! Vi er innom: Jeg døde og alt ble svart Livet vil aldri bli det samme Valgene vi tar Kjempe igjennom smerten Hver eneste dag var en kamp Følge drømmen var enkelt Hvordan finne ro og lykke Yoga og meditasjon Høydeskrekk og frykt etterpå? Flytsonen Hvordan det ikke skal skje igjen Tankene når hun våknet opp Tankene når hun merket at hun kom til å falle? Hva er det spesielle med klatring? 6 Dagers klatre camp med Rannveig på Kalymnos i oktober

COLD COMFORT: a little retsina to cool down in Vathys harbor on Kalymnos SHOW NOTES: This is the third of several episodes which contain various recordings during my voyage this summer in Greece. Neil Fletcher and Jack Andrys were my guests and are also previous contributors to this podcast. This episode is all about the food. We always ate well during this summer's trip – sometimes exceptionally so – and this podcast focuses on three of the highlights. Andrioti's restaurant in Nikhia on Nisyros boasts not only great food and good service but also a terrace with one of the best views in the Dodecanese, as mentioned in the show notes to our previous podcast. The brief video below should give you an idea of what we mean.... We also meet Soula, the charming but shy owner of Aegeo Pelagos in Vathys on Kalymnos. We find out a little bit more about her restaurant and her favorite dishes, which may come in helpful should you ever find yourself in this gorgeous little harbor. Neil contributes an epicurean tale of his own about the frighteningly-authentic rustic French sausage he enjoyed in downtown Los Angeles a few years ago, and Jack weighs in with a little palate cleanser about his experiences as a diver following a helicopter accident off the coast of Karratha in Western Australia. Palionisos Harbor Finally we conduct an on-site segment from Taverna Kalidonis in the small anchorage of Palionisos. We interview the owner, who built the place from scratch following a turndown in the construction business. The food at the Taverna was not quite as exceptional as at Aegeo Pelagos, but the setting, overlooking the compact bay with a small number of buoys, simply could not be bettered. You can find the taverna's Facebook page HERE. And below is a short video of this charming little harbor..... We hope the above leaves you 'hungry' for more from Sailing in the Mediterranean. And since I often open the show with a couple of brief notes about my life in Utah, and my hikes at the ranch I thought I would include here a photograph I took this weekend from the tree stand I discuss in the introduction. Look at that beautiful tall straight Aspen! As always, I'm always looking for reviews for my instructional sailing podcasts which can be downloaded here too. The Bareboat Cruising Certification is an extensive 8 hour lesson which will set you well on your way to casting off those lines and exploring new horizons. Simply click the link below.

Captain Jack Andrys SHOW NOTES: This is the first of several episodes which contain various recordings during my voyage this summer in Greece. Neil Fletcher and Jack Andrys were my guests and are also previous contributors to this podcast. During the week that they were sailing with me we made several recordings of observations and stories we had tell along the way. Our trip took us through several of the Dodecanese Islands, located just a little west of the Turkish coast. There are twelve large islands in the Dodecanese group (dodeka means twelve in Greek), plus about 150 smaller ones. We sailed southwest from Leros to Astypalaia, about a 45nm trip, and then due east to Nisyros, about another 40nm, where we stayed for two nights in the charming small harbor at Palloi and toured the island on rented scooters. From Palloi we headed north, skirting the busy island of Kos to Kalymnos, where we dropped anchor in Vathi (also known as Vathys). The locals call the tiny harbor entrance 'the Fjord' and you can see why. It's a tiny cut intersecting the barren cliffs of the island, very sheltered and no more than 400 meters long from the entrance to the harbor wall, and about 100m wide. There are moorings for about 15 boats and its free alongside the wall. Here is a brief video of the harbor entrance: Aigaio Pelagos: A very nice spot for lunch...or dinner Now that's what we call calamari... We also enjoyed a great meal here at the Aigaio Pelagos, which Neil proudly informed us means Aegean Sea. Turns out Neil studied Ancient Greek at University, and 25 years later, it looks like it's finally come in handy. The service was friendly, the retsina was cold and the calamari - served whole - was quite delicious. As for the setting, looking out over the port with the hills to our left and right, it really couldn't be bettered. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch there, followed by pre-dinner drinks, followed by dinner, and we even met the proprietor, a charming lady named Soula from whom we will hear more in a later podcast. We were also befriended by another Australian - the third in two days - who worked at the restaurant. Aigaio Pelagos has several rave reviews on TripAdvisor, which you can read HERE. Kalymnos, with Vathi ringed We've also enclosed a rather crude map of Kalymnos with Vathys circled. If you are sailing in the area don't miss it. It was certainly a highlight of the trip for us. This enterprising local farmer trucks his produce up and down Vathys to supply the local restaurants Neil Fletcher and Vanity...

David E. Sutton‘s book beguiles. Secrets From the Greek Kitchen:Cooking, Skill, and Everyday Life on an Aegean Island (University of California Press, 2014) seems like a simple chronicle of the most basic food practices on the island of Kalymnos. But what practices they are. Cutting boards are not used. Cooks cut food while holding it and the ingredients drop directly into a bowl or a pot. Just that simple action reveals a connection to what is eaten that opens up a world. It is a world worth a visit – and certainly a listen – as Prof. Sutton and I discuss some of our favorite places on earth, the ancient and ebullient islands of the Aegean sea.
