pov your friend @crownofcureope is the brave one... Yesterday we climbed Mount Olympus (highest mountain in Greece ).. We started in Prionia at 6:45 and made our way up to Scala (the first summit of Olympus) in just under 6 hours. Once at Scala, it was now time to push on to Mytikas (the highest summit of the mountain). The conditions weren't favorable and the entire summit was in a cloud. I went as far as I felt safe before deciding I would sit back and watch her reach the top if she felt comfortable to do so. I did not think I'd be able to see anything but for just a moment, the clouds parted and I zoomed in on someone on the mountain and to my surprise it was her! She looked so tiny and I could just see her white helmet. She made it back over an hour later and said "I'm never doing that again" Kristen is summiting all of the high points of Europe (known as the Crown of Europe) and she is doing so to raise money for cancer research. She is so strong and brave and watching her do her thing is so incredible to see. We met last year in August on a trip with @whynotadventures_ in Albania, Northern Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro and then decided to do Mount Rysy in Poland together in September. We both had our eyes on climbing Musala in Bulgaria and so she asked if I wanted to join to do both Musala and Olympus. This was such an epic 4 day adventure with a lot of 4:30am alarms and a lot of aches and pains I'm so proud of her resilience and strength and if you'd like to see the other high points she's done and the ones to come follow along! @crownofcureope (she does Mont Blanc next week, so if you've done it recently please dm her on insta bc I'm sure she has questions and needs some reassurance for one of the largest feats in her journey) #hikingadventures #outdooradventures #europetravel #solofemaletravel #hikingtrails
