Winter gear demonstration for beginners

Saturday 18th January 2025

This brief practice is for relatively experienced hikers who wish to deal with hiking in winter conditions. There will be a demonstration of the use of winter mountaineering equipment to safely hike on snow-covered mountain fields. The location will most likely be Lakkos Mygerou on the northern slope of Psiloritisor where else the snow is suitable.

Basic gear, like winter boots and a winter anorak, is required, whereas specialised gear, like crampons and an axe, will be provided by the Club.

Leader: Fondas Spinthakis

Departure: 07.00 from the Archaeological Museum.

Information – Registration: Monday to Friday, 20.00-22.00, at the Mountaineering Club Office, 53 Dikeosynis st, Heraklion, telephone number: 2810227609.
