Climb West Slabs of Mount Olympus

05/25/20

I’ve done this hike before but just went again and this time tried to make it over to the summit of Mt. Olympus. Just know that this “mile bushwhack” is more so a sketchy up and down ridge walk and requires another slab down climb and up climb to get to the true summit. With snow and tennis shoes this is not a beginner hike. The views are beautiful and if you aren’t afraid of heights go for it, just study the route to the summit before you go, and would highly recommend going later in the season to avoid snow and ice.
