Great video guys, what month was the expedition? And you said you didn’t go to the peak because you didn’t have the equipment needed? May I ask what equipment would I need in order to go to the peak? I’m thinking of climbing olympos as my first ever mountain! Is it a good idea?
@shanesventures19864 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks We went up in April, and we were incredibly lucky with the weather. We had professional crampons, but we lacked rope, harnesses, helmets and ice axes. Well, while I'm really happy that we made it to the base of the tallest peak, I am a bit sad that we couldn't go to the tippy top. That's a trip for another time. If it was summer, as long as you had a helmet and proper footwear, I'd say climb it, but with the ice and snow, you should make sure you get the right gear. Talk with Monika at the store, 55 peaks, in Litochoro, she helped us tremendously. Happy Ventures Shane

@@shanesventures1986 I am! Need to book asap and I'm wanting to do the 30km I think lol. So I was hoping you would say 15km so I have a good idea of the kind of thing to expect :) Great video!! I joined Spartan last July and completed the trifecta weekend in October, so trying to work out how it compares. I've been training lots but 30km is probs two laps so it brings a harder mental challenge, along with the cold too 🥶🤔 I'm still pretty new to OCR though, so any advice appreciated! I run long distance so that aspect is fine.

that chant in the beginning is so silly! Psh, the only thing that matters is winning by any means necessary. While, I'm not personally a fan of OCRs, I can see the appeal, and why they're fun. I would only do one if I knew that I had a chance of winning or coming in the top 3 or something. This one looked fun though, not too long, and had some pretty awesome obstacles. When is the next one?
