Olympus - climbing

In 2003, a few climber buddies undertook the management of "Christos Kakalos" refuge on Olympus mountain. The beginning was really tough for them but interesting ans inspiring too. Apart from offering services to the visitors of the mountain, they were also spending long days rock climbing on the suround cracks, whenever possible. In this way, old climbing routes became alive again, new ones were opened, not to mention the old or new winter routes. During the last years, several new climbing routes were added to the old ones, reaching the number of 64, which are characterised by various difficulty grades.

Anyhow mountain Olympus is not identical only to rock climbing and mountaineering. This is why we created this website: to express our ideas and opinions covering a wide area, from trecking, climbing and ski to scientific topics, the special flora and the fauna, ecological topics, history etc.
