The route “Optimists” (M5+, 300m) was established on 23/12/2022 by Chr. Tsioutsias - A. Konstantinidis - St. Karantinakis.
To climb it, we begin on the route “Botteri - Natsi”, and we go to the right to reach the anchor of the 3rd pitch of “Fotis Giagkoulas”. From there, we move to the left to climb the impressive dihedral of “Botteri - Natsi”.
During the first ascend, there was a lack of ice on the full length of the dihedral, so the first ascenders abandoned it, going further to the left, finally climbing a snow ramp (50° M1-M2) to reach the summit ridge.
