Olympus Mons is an easy climb with life support because it isn't very steep.

- vuciv1 6y agoAh! Just a few days ago I wrote an article about what it would be like to climb on Mars! I learned about Olympus Mons in the process. It turns out that the surface area is equal to that of Italy's. There are a few interesting features like cliffs and craters, but you can probably just get around it. https://jerseyfonseca.com/blogs/climbingmars https://jerseyfonseca.com/blogs/climbingmars
