SUMMER 2004
August 21st: Fagaras. A trip very similar to the one two months ago (June the 19th). I've reached
Gura Oticu again by hitchhiking a bit later than expected, around 11h10; the
17km/10mi to Stanele din Podul Giurgiului went quickly 
. From there I
intended to climb Moldoveanu Peak but a pack of dogs which I've met in
the forest made me turn back; I took a very well maintained sheperds' trail
and finally I reached the main ridge in Fereastra Orzanelelor 
, exactly
like two monthds before. From there I walked eastwards, climbed Vistea Mare
summit then descended towards Portita Vistei the finally descended towards
Victoria , with the last two hours in the dark.
Alone.
AUTUMN 2003
- September 27th: Fagaras. Two day trip with an overnight in Valea Sambetei chalet. The first day I
was alone and it was pretty exhausting: I've left the car at Cabana Capra then
Fereastra Zmeilor shelter - free navigation towards Nierlinger Memorial
- main ridge thru Vistea Mare - Fereastra Mica - Fereastra Mare
with going down to Valea Sambetei chalet (the descent from Fereastra
Mare to the chalet was at night time, with the flashlight; when the
batteries were exhausted I had a difficult time changing them).
The second day early wake up then descent to Manastirea Sambata (where
I've met Nico and Cosmin) then by car to Balea Cascada and finally an
ascent on foot from Balea Cascada to Balea Lac
.
People: Nicoleta Zamfir, Cosmin Zamfir.
