"What a great day. After foggy tuesday got rewarded with nice weather. Apparently I did not take any pictures on Mytikas which is a shame. This route up was much more fun than the normal route to Mytikas via Spilios Agapitos." — LadislavT • Jul 7, 2023

"At Skala I could not see this mountain as it was hidden in cloud. To be honest I was a little disorientated and didn't properly check my bearings. Rather I set off after checking the way with another climber and misinterpreting his directions, I ended up heading straight down the gully to the east rather than turning north almost immediately. I was about 100m down before I fully realised my mistake. It could have been more costly than the calories and pride spent, because the rock was very loose. After finally establishing the mistake I'd made, I made my way back up, and on to the right path which was well marked. What hadn't been well marked was the turn off from the gully, and the advice of "straight down" was taken too literally. The other mistake I had made was not really researching this top and its difficulties. I had planned to go up the next day but as the weather was turning, I did it earlier and didn't do any real preparation. It is described as a class 3 scramble and to be honest I'd have preferred to have been roped up, but as it stood I continued. The first part is a steep descent though on quite solid rock, and one with natural steps, a recurring feature on this clim..." — vygodski • Jul 4, 2023

"The second day of a four-day trek on the Olympos Massif, Macedonia, Northern Greece. For more information on Mount Olympos, see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olympus From the summit of Skala 2866m/20m to Mytikas 2918.8m/2355m, and return to Skala. Four of our group declined the option of the Grade 2 scramble to the summit, so Ivo our guide had four of us in his summit party. I was of two minds myself, as I am not a confident scrambler. However, I had wanted to climb to the summit of Mount Olympus since I was a boy, when my passion for Ancient Greece started. I had come a long way and invested a lot of physical and emotional effort in scaling this summit, so it was not a hard decision and I joined the summit party. With helmets donned as protection against stone-fall (a constant hazard on this peak, due to its popularity) we set off. The first part of the scramble was relatively easy. It was down the shaded narrow gully of the Kakoskala, with little in the way of exposure. Then followed an exposed but easy traverse below the ridge crest down to the Skala - Skolio col at 2810m, with views west down into the yawning gulf of the Megala Kazania cwm, with its..." — marktrengove • Sep 13, 2017

" The first day, starting from Prionia, we walked to Refuge A (Spilios Agapitos) were we spent the night. The next morning we took the trail to Zonaria, climbed Louki and reached the peak Myticas. Returning from Kakia Skala, we also walked on the lower summits Skolio and Agios Antonios and then returned back to Refuge A. After another night at the refuge we headed back to Prionia.
