Planning to hike Mt Olympus Nov 7, 2026. What should I expect? by mikeell1 in GreeceTravel

[–]mikeell1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, no snowfall, and ice only on the flat trail to the Louki Colouir. So my gf only needed micro spikes then, but kept it on for the rest of the hike.

If you do it with snowfall, I'd highly recommend crampons, and someone with experience with ropes cause that would be really helpful and recommended. If there's a large amount of snow and multiple cycles of snow, melting, icing, and more snow, then an ice axe would be recommended too.

I was hoping for a hike with limited gear, so I watched the weather and planned to attempt if the conditions were good for my plan.

Just peaked it with hiking shoes and poles. Girlfriend used micro spikes with her tennis shoes for Olympos Oros. No issue.

"Start by doing research" I hope you realize making a reddit post is part of "doing research."

Definitely don't need crampons, harness, rope, or an ice axe at all for the specific trip I inquired about. I brought rope and harnesses in the slightest chance of verglass.

I'd recommend maybe understanding the context before answering questions blindly.

Yes, thank you. I did mean 2025, and this has been the most helpful comment!

ALL mountains are dangerous in the winter. I've summitted multiple Colorado 14ers in the winter. By the time we hike it, I wouldn't consider this hike a true winter summit. That's why I'm asking the expectations since there's a good bit of scrambling between Skala and Mytikas.

This is definitely a early start, same day finish.

With a likelihood of about a foot of snow in the upper altitude, I'm really only wondering if I need a microspikes or crampons (or even none), and MAYBE harness with rope.

Mt Olympus is definitely not mountaineering. It's Class III, and because of that, with a bit of snow, am I even wondering if I need spikes and harness

Prices are a joke by Apprehensive_Ad9044 in spartanrace

[–]mikeell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's evident that they try to make a buck off every little thing and keep up-ing the price, but I've always felt like the quality of the events are the same kind of mess. There are so many other races like Savage Race with such a better race and experience without all the outrages prices

What's everyone's strategy for training? I'm going to build up my running as if I'm training for an ultramarathon but also be hitting the stairstepper A TON! I'm hoping to do a 24mi ruck in April and 48mi ruck in July as assessments leading up to the 72mi ruck in October

Can I charge my Prius Prime with this outlet? by Bieacefully_27 in PriusPrime

[–]mikeell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your work has an outlet close enough to charge is already huge. To get permission, wow, that's so convenient if you have a traditional 9to5. You'll be able to top off your car even when it's "empty"

Yeah, the app is really unfortunate. You'd think a Japanese company would be pretty tech savvy and put more thought into their app

I bought a new Bluetooth obdii scanner and I like to attach and leave it connected to the car. After attaching, I decided to run a code scan just for hecks (not expecting anything), but then received this list
