“Alpina” (V, 300 m.) first ascent was made in 1959 by S. Antypas and D. Karlos. The route follows the North-West ridge which is located on the north face of the pyramid of Mount Giona. This is a very atmospheric route with great views towards Lazorema and Vathia Laka with plenty of variety in the climbing style, from slab to dehydral and some scrambling too. Alpina is also a great route for winter mountaineering ascents.
