Omblos Hill Climb
The Omplos hill climb was an automobile uphill racing competition that was held from 1999 until 2006 on mount Omplos, 8 km southeast of downtown Patras. It was organized by the Patras Automobilist Club (AOP) and the youth and sport organization of the Municipality of Messatida, Achaea. With 3.2 km total length it was the fifth round of the Greek Hill Climb Championship. The event replaced Pititsa hill climb due to problems on its roads; the problems were solved and the hill climb returned at Pititsa.

Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or climb:
“In the schoolyard,in the cloakrooms, the children boasted their
scars of dried snot;wrists and knees garnished with impetigo.”
—Geoffrey Hill (b. 1932)
“I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
A glittering sword out of the east.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
