On the tops rise the eagles and snakes. Now recently the 4x4s and mountain bikes. Why not the Voes? On Saturday morning, strictly at 7:30, we will gather at Salé and depart in our cars for the trailhead, about 2 km from Salé. There we leave our vehicles and start the ascent.
Mountaineering boots or very good sports boots with good grip on the sole. The sarees, the loose parts, are slippery. At the beginning the trail is steep uphill. Then for some time it is gently uphill and before the top it becomes steep uphill again which with the high altitude gets a bit tiring. Good physical condition is required. Baton or poles help quite a bit. Hat and sunscreen. The route is all in alpine landscape i.e. treeless. A windbreaker or something like that anyway will be useful when we get to the top where we will stand for a while. Energising snacks and plenty of water (at least 1.5 litres) are essential. The trail is perfectly safe. There are no dangerous spots. It is wide everywhere...to vast.
Beware of the timeline.
The climb should be completed in 2.5 hours. 20 minute stop at the top for photos and rest. The descent will not exceed 1 hour and 45 minutes.
It is understood that during the ascent short stops are necessary but short. The reason is that the sun after some time becomes very harsh and we have to be back.
Please if you are up late do not attempt the climb. You will make it difficult for your companions.
Alcohol test will not take place! The peak of Megali Zireia or Ziria or Kyllini is at 2374 meters. It is called Point or "Simeio". The rest of it is close up.
