The route described below is one of several routes in Olympus (Greece) that are somewhere at the intersection of running, hiking and rock climbing, so all of these skills are needed. 

This is most difficult of all on Olympus routes. We call it Olympus Bardotka. A route that requires exceptional skills, excellent physical endurance and ... courage.

The route consists of four distinct sections, each with its own character very clearly marked:

1. Gomarostalos - the steepest climb in Olympus, with wonderful views and a short rock climbing section secured by permanently installed ropes.

2. Rema Naum - an unusual dry river, with single boulders sometimes larger than a house.
