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
I'm SO happy to hear this! It's a completely different situation to be doing it solo, isn't it? I hope you'll have a great time next year and if you remember, I'd love to hear about your experience 😁 Good luck and hope to see you on a trail one day!
What a wild journey, thank you for sharing it with the world. I am exploring the idea of doing the same climb. Do you by any chance still have a digital copy of Monika's epic map?
@@FLORATOSOTHON I did not say it is not dangerous. I said it is not the most dangerous climb in Olympus (Stefani / Throne of Zeus is the hardest) or in Greece (some peaks like Tsuka Rossa in Tymfi and the peaks of Vardousia for example are rated as harder by climbers). The fact that it is deadlier is because thousands more people from around the world climb Olympus annually than other mountains in Greece, which are completely unknown. So statistically with so many climbing every year of course there are going to be more deaths than in any other place.
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.
What really?! That’s insane 😳 I’m glad you made it out okay and are on to other adventures! I might just do that for the high alpine ones, you seem like an expert 😄
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. 🇬🇷
Great inspiration video! Congratulations you did amazing pushing forward! I will attempt to do this hike later this year. Just curious to know your total time to reach Mytikas from the start of the trailhead? And what time (where you back by dark?), also how long did it take you to get down from Mytikas back to the trailhead to take the taxi back to the hotel? Thank you! You Rock!
Oooo great questions! Let’s see if I can remember: -in total from the trailhead to the top and back I think it was 10-12 hours with stops -from the big rock on the trail to Mytikas it was about 35mins (I think I said in the vid if you want more accuracy) -from Mytikas back to the trail was fast! Like 20min? I was on an endorphin high -coming down was quick as I was running 😉 maybe 2-3 hours? I hitchhiked back to Litochoro and was their before dusk 😊 Hope that helps!! I hope you have an awesome time!!
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!
Thanks Björn ironically that’s one of my favourite compliments being a badass 🤩 no idea why! 😂 Of course a good question!! Love it! In Europe I haven’t had many issues when it comes to food (but I also don’t eat meat). One time I ate Guinea pig in Bolivia and that was kind of the end for me 😂 I lost like 8kg in a week. So some countries I’m careful. As for water, I always ask a local the first and/or watch the habits of the locals - are they going home with their groceries and a massive jug of water? 🤣 What’s your two cents? I know you like to travel and like food 😄
@@NatashaBergen I have to be careful traveling to some of Europe's southern countrys, like Turkey. But we travel so different you and I. You stay alot shorter than me doing your thing. Me, I'm more of a working mans holiday kinda guy, where you go for a week or two. I also try to avoid eating red meat as much as I can. But as far as I know, water is or can be a big problem going to another country. So whiskey for me it is!😅😂🤣
Love your videos! For blisters, you could try climbing tape, or athletes tape. It’s a non stretchy fabric tape. If you find a good brand it will stay on for multiple days, you can even shower without it coming off, and the glue is designed to be safe for use on your skin. I like „Leukotape classic“, but that brand might not be available in all countries.
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.
Whatever you do in Norway, please listen to the lokals, because if the rescue party can save you, due to the weather, you are dead. Sorry, but that a fact. On the other hand our rescue do whatever they can....
I've not watched your video's before. You say that your project is to summit 50 peaks across Europe. I don't know for sure what kind of peaks that is ....but something tells me that you are trying to reach the highest peak in each country. But there are a couple of problems to that ....which is firstly that there are only 47 countries in Europe ....and secondly your chance to climb anything in Belarus or Russia isn't exactly bright ....and I think it wouldn't be to smart to go there. If you have gotten the idea that Georgia, Armenia and Azerbajdzjan are part of Europe....then sorry no....but you can of course try to summit them whatever....but they are high...like 4000 - 5000 m. I have travelled in Caucasus and was happy with only seeing those mountains ...without trying to do any kind of conquest....I don't feel any need to prove anything. I only travel in order to see and learn about other cultures and the land of theirs.
Hey Dan! 😁 There are in fact 49 if you do the 'textbook' Crown of Europe - but you are indeed right, some countries will likely not be possible due to political situations so to make up for that I added a few extra 'highest peaks' which with all the subtracting and adding of peaks came to 50. It's a project for myself so I make the rules 😉 There are indeed some 'high' ones! If you know how to train and prepare anything is possible 😁 That's super cool you also love to travel and learn about other cultures! I hope you enjoy your adventures!! ps. if you wanna learn why I'm doing the project and in this way just check out my website, and if not cool, have a lovely day!
@@NatashaBergen Sorry ....but that "textbook" don't know what they are talking about. They might like to climb on mountains but knowledge of history and geography is obviously not their thing. Their claim of 50 countries in Europe is wrong. The correct number is 47 countries. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbajdzjan has NEVER been part of Europe. They also claim that mt. Elbrus (which is Europe's highest mountain) is located in eastern Russia.... Haha ...I can't believe how clueless it is possible to be. Most of Russia's territory are to be found in Asia .... Hence if someone follow that claim and tries to find mt. Elbrus anywhere in the eastern direction of the rim of the Pacific Ocean ...well than they are more than lost.
Very cool video Natasha! So proud of you to make that climb alone ❤🎉
Awe 🥹 thanks ☺️
Congratulations Natasha x

00:04 Tribute to the Gods. Cool adventure you are on! Good luck 👍
Thanks!! Glad you liked that bit and the project 😄
Congratulations !!!

You are so amazing !!! I enjoyed the all video so . . .much !!!
Thanks so much! 😁 Happy you liked it!
Your one brave girl 👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant . I love the video. I will be going in sept and so nervous now
I’m excited for you!! Please don’t be nervous, you’ll do amazing I’m sure of it 😁 reach out if you have any questions I can help with ☺️
Nice video and an amazing climb to the most dangerous and deadly mountain peak in Greece, especially with such bad visibility.
Super happy you liked it! It would’ve been nice to have the views at the top but that’s okay it was really lovely anyways! 😄
Mytikas is not even the most dangerous peak in Olympus, let alone in Greece...
@@BlueLena Tell this to the people that died climbing to the top of Olympus.
I am sure they will be happy to know lol.
@@FLORATOSOTHON I did not say it is not dangerous. I said it is not the most dangerous climb in Olympus (Stefani / Throne of Zeus is the hardest) or in Greece (some peaks like Tsuka Rossa in Tymfi and the peaks of Vardousia for example are rated as harder by climbers).

Incredible and strong woman 🎉❤ Congratulations!
Thanks Zlata 😍 that made my day 💛
Hello, where did you take the taxi to? From Litochoros to -..? Thank you very much
Mateeee, WELL DONE!! I loved the video, your style and storytelling is great!👊

Such a brave human. You also very lucky 🍀. Beautiful place
Very lucky indeed 👍

Oh funny! Now I will have to do them just because you said I wouldn’t make it 😉 Enjoy Mt. Olympus and Greece David! 🙌
A 'flat' 14-miler. You will enjoy and food is Fabulous!
Marvejols-Mende, the last weekend of July. See you in Greece. 😉
That Run in is the South of France. Only 2 climbs and on the smooth roads. Good Luck!
Amazing! Where did you learn the routes / hikes to be able to do them solo?
Well done girl👍

Eeeee thanks so much 😁 you made my morning 🤩
What time of year did you do this hike?
In August, during the great heat wave but luckily it wasn't too crazy in the mountains 😁
Good work! :)
Thanks Sina!! 😁
Great video Natasha - and full of useful information. Looked a little hair-raising in the fog though…😮
Glad you liked it 😄 if I wasn’t so sweaty at the time I think I would’ve had a new hairdo 😂
Well done you great achievement, as a tip use zinc oxide tape instead of duct tape
I truly love your spectacular life 💕
sooo cool :)
Can't believe they cancel!!!!!
