ED on the mountain stands for Extreme Difficile, indicating the level of difficulty of an Alpine climbing route.
The team of the ED+ has already climbed enough of those routes and it is one of the reasons why this name was chosen.
The team of ED+ have accumulated experience through many years of exploration in nature, innumerable kilometers in height on mountains and rocks in Greece and abroad, having walked ,hiked or climbed to innumerable summits, slopes and gorges with maps and compasses in hand. We discovered ourselves on the mountains, we gained the experience we had once wished for but also learned to respect nature and the mountains that surrounds us and we are ready to share it with you.
We are a team of mountain guides, with “lead climber” as we say in climbing Nick Lazanas, founder of ED+.
Nick lives in peace with the mountains and has faced their challenges since 2003 when he got involved with mountaineering and climbing.
Since 2010 he has been a mountaineering instructor, climbing instructor and ski touring instructor and since 2015 he is the main training executive of Athens Hiking Club having completed to day a great number of training schools in mountains and rocks, individually or in teams, teaching all the the techniques for using the equipment together with theoretical and practical training.
His experience in the natural environment in addition to his contribution as a volunteer rescuer and his participation in many incidents where rescue services were required, were the main reasons for which he was chosen as an instructor in public vocational training institutes in the course for «Mountain Leaders».
After all, mountaineering, climbing, alpine hiking or crossing mountains with skis, requires deep knowledge in order to appreciate as well as know how to avoid risks, to recognize the appropriate conditions but also to understand the level of ability of your group, so each experience in nature can be carried out first and foremost with the utmost security.
