Highlights
"That was my long term running goal for training for a big expedition in the Alps on August! Killed my legs but I am very satisfied with the outcome! 16km continuous uphill running with 863m elevation gain in 1h58m!" — Christos • Jun 24, 2018
"I and a friend went up for a morning walk to Mount Aigaleo recently. We went up from Chaidari, traversed the mountain, and ended back down at Schisto Camp. A very pleasant trip to do in a short time from Athens. Complete Trip Report and Photos: http://www.variouscuriousstuff.com/2017/04/23/hiking-mount-aigaleo-athens/" — DimitriosFan • Jun 14, 2017
"Did this route mainly to explore how difficult would be to climb the steepest face of Penteli. As I expected climbing and scrambling were needed from 800 to 1000m altitude. Very nasty bushwhacking at 1000m. Need to find an alternative route for the final 100m to the summit." — Christos • May 22, 2017
