Essentials for Your Mytikas Summit Adventure:

• Before embarking on your legendary ascent to Mytikas, please pack wisely and keep your backpack as light as possible by focusing on the essentials. 
• Here's a comprehensive list to guide your preparations:

Footwear:

• Hike or trail running shoes with a sturdy, non-slip sole for optimal traction.

Backpack:

• Hiking backpack with 40-60 litres capacity, featuring padded straps and a waist belt. Ensure there's extra space for carrying a helmet and climbing harness, both of which will be provided.

Hydration and Nutrition:

• Water bottle (at least 1-1.5 litres).
• Energy bars, gels, or other snacks to keep you fueled during the trek.

Apparel:

• Waterproof jacket (preferably) or a windbreaker with a hood. Windbreaker pants are also advised.
• Shorts and long trousers made of quick-drying material for walking.
• two dri-fit (technical) t-shirts and one long-sleeve t-shirt.
• Warm clothing for the night, including a fleece top, long thermal underwear, and two pairs of socks.

Protection from the Elements:

• Sunglasses and a hat to shield from the sun.
• Sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.

Cold Weather Accessories:

• Warm gloves and a beanie hat are advised for colder conditions.

Comfort and Rest:

• Sleeping bag (blankets are available in the refuge).
• Personal toiletries and a small towel for personal care.
• Headlamp for visibility, especially in low-light conditions.

First Aid:

• Simple first aid kit containing plasters, a blister kit, painkillers, antiseptic, and any personal medications.

Additional Considerations:

• Depending on the period or weather conditions, an additional equipment list may be communicated beforehand.
• Should you lack any part of the listed equipment, please feel free to contact us. We are here to assist you in making the necessary arrangements, ensuring you are fully prepared for this remarkable journey to the summit of Mytikas.

• Disclaimer: Your safety is our top priority
• While we strive to follow the published itinerary, we reserve the right to modify or change plans based on the guide's discretion without penalty or money refund. This flexibility is exercised in response to changing weather conditions, ensuring participant comfort and safety, or addressing unexpected team member illness or injury.
• Adverse Weather Contingency:

  In the event that inclement weather prevents an ascent to Mytikas Peak, the guide will adapt the itinerary and strive to reach Skolio Peak (2908m) instead. However, should circumstances impede both ascents and the guide deems it safer to conclude the activity, the group will return to the hut without reaching the summit. The safety and well-being of participants take precedence in such decisions.

• The tour guide retains the right to interrupt or halt the scheduled activity if a team member fails to comply with safety rules or engages in actions that jeopardise the group. The guide is not responsible for accidents resulting from participant mistakes or ignorance.
• It is essential to acknowledge that if a participant lacks the required fitness or skill level or sustains an injury, the guide may need to alter the course en route to ensure a safe completion and arrival at the endpoint. When an overnight stay in one of the refuges becomes necessary, any additional costs are solely the participant's responsibility. Participants are reminded that the tour guide is dedicated to facilitating an enjoyable mountain adventure while prioritising safety. Therefore, decisions and instructions given by the guide should be respected and followed at all times.
• Before the trip, it is recommended to consult with your guide regarding the trip level and specific requirements to ensure a well-prepared and safe mountain experience. Your safety is our paramount concern, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding in unforeseen circumstances.
• Participants should be free from acrophobia (fear of heights) and possess an appropriate fitness level.
