How I Climbed Mount Olympus without Falling Off a Cliff 🇬🇷 GREECE (13/50)

Published 2023-09-03
Normally a 2-day hike I would be attempting to hike over 1500m in elevation gain and a Class III scramble on the Yosemite Decimal System (YDS). This is the home of the Greek gods so I knew it would have challenges.

Here's the story that starts in Litochoro, Greece with hopes of conquering Mount Olympus and peak Mytikas!

    Well done!!! Great video!
  • @davidcasillas285
    Natasha, don't attempt Pikes Peak nor Sierre Zinal, Switzerland! You will never make it! 😅 Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Going up Mt. Olympus in 2024. 🇬🇷
  • @jojotempley7510
    Yay, beautiful. I climb solo alot and in scramble sections I often have that moment.. a primal check in vs reality check in. Capability and conditions. Doubting because of other people's dramatic accounts. I'm so glad you trusted yourself. I'm climbing this mountain next year and this was the perfect vid for me to see. Well done and thanks x
  • @joanna9856
    Very cool video Natasha! So proud of you to make that climb alone ❤🎉
  • @Ariel-px7hz
    Amazing! Where did you learn the routes / hikes to be able to do them solo?
  • @itskawi.
    Such a brave human. You also very lucky 🍀. Beautiful place
  • @zlata.p
    Incredible and strong woman 🎉❤ Congratulations!

    Mateeee, WELL DONE!! I loved the video, your style and storytelling is great!👊 Funny enough Mt. Olympus was the first mountain I ever climbed, everything went wrong and nearly got hypothermia. Also had the same summit views as you haha. Looking forward to seeing all the other videos on your 50 summits list. If you're struggling with any of the Alpine peaks down the line give a shout, I'm happy to help.

    Yay Natasha😁! You did it⛰! No fear, no pain, no doubts! Good climbing🧗‍♀! And how you just flew down that peak! You looked so stoked😛! Lots of adrenaline I guess?! Congrats! #13 does not seem like an unlucky number for you! Take care.
  • @bjornbear6856
    Amazing Natasha! You're sucha badass!!!!!!! The way you SAFLY climb theese mountaintops is a true inspiration to me! Loved this video! I'm curious about food though(of course, you know me 😁) Traveling to different countrys, like you do, do you ever experience stomach problems? I mean in the sense of that there are different bacterial flora in different countrys? Like, don't eat the sallads or avoid tap water. How do you deal with that? Research? AND FINALY A HELMET! THANK GOD! Be safe! On to the next one!
