I've done Mytikas and it's beautiful, but be careful! It's not so easy for someone without any climbing experience and has claimed quite a few lives from people who didn't even know they were scared of heights until it came time to climb down.
Hi friend, thanks for posting this. I haven't seen many videos that record so much of the last part to Mytikas, even though I'm sure there must be some. I am planning to reach the Mytikas peak in July and I've been going back and forth for a while now about the equipment. Some people argue you should not try this without head gear, hiking boots, poles etc. I am not an experienced climber by any means, but this is also the reason why I've been skeptikal about buying all this equipment just for a hike. Did you find that at any point all of this equipment would have been necessary, or were you pretty comfortable and confident the whole time? Ideally I'd try this just with hiking boots but I see a lot of people wear gloves too. Would you see gloves would make a big difference? Thank you!
Did you end up going? What did you decide, gear or no gear, and how was the ascent/descent? About to make the trek myself and I've had the same questions you asked; any advice you have would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance
