AUTUMN 2004
- October 24th: Fagaras. I took advantage of an unexpected nice weather period and the moon nearly
full for a last day/night trip during my favourite mountains for this autumn.
I climbed the path from the southern entrance of the
Transfagarasan tunnel until the main ridge , which I took westwards for 4
hours up to the Negoiu Peak . When returning it took me 6 hours due to night
fall and the three diversions: First I used the avoiding version through
Strunga Doamnei ; from Caltun, after the night fell, I continued
thru Caldarea Paltinului , from where I went up again to the main
ridge ; finally the descent from Paltinu Saddle directly to the
Balea Lake . Unexpectedly warm for this period; again I had luck seeing four
ibexes next to Caltun. During the four hours of night walk the moon was
enough for orientation.
Alone.
