AUTUMN 2004
- October 31st: Fagaras. A replay, at a smaller scale, of the last week's trip. Because I wasn't
alone anymore the itinerary was much shorter: Climb from the southern tunnel
entrange until the main ridge
, then eastwards thru Capra Saddle 
towards Vanatoarea lui Buteanu Peak 
; then we returned through Vaiuga
valley 
to Balea Lake chalet 
.
Same incredible weather for this time of the year; unlike last time,
when I only met a single group, today we met tens of people. Elvis preffered
to wait for us at the chalet.
People: Elvis Grandin, Nicoleta Puscasu.
SUMMER 2003
June 14th: Fagaras. By far my favourite trip so far; I keep some unforgettable memories
from it. Night time and full-moon trip on the route from Capra chalet
(departure at 9pm) - Capra Lake and Saddle -
Vanatoarea lui Buteanu peak -
Vaiuga Saddle and valley - Balea chalet - Capra Saddle 
-
main ridge under Vartopel/Arpasel - Fereastra Zmeilor Saddle -
Capra chalet 
with arrival at
7.15am. The moon reflected on Capra Lake, the silence broken only by some
invisible waters, the alternance between clear sky and thick fog, my moonshade
were all wonderful!
Alone.
