2 trips in Piatra Craiului (interest point: Cabana Valea lui Ivan):

October 2nd: Piatra Craiului. We've left the car at the Clabucet dam then walked the 4km forestry road to Garofita Pietrei Craiului chalet then turned left towards Poiana Tamasel ; after we continued to Umerii Pietrei Craiului ; where the ascent ended. We followed Braul de Mijloc to the right up to Prepeleag by passing Marele Grohotis, Stanciului cave and Ceardacul Stanciului. The descent was to Crucea Granicerului , Valea lui Ivan chalet and the car . People: Monica Lauleanu, Emil Georgescu, one more person.

August 20th: Piatra Craiului. Leaving home a bit late I managed to reach Cojocaru on Dambovita valley only at 12.30 noon. From here I climbed along Dragosloveni Valley up to Garofita Pietrei Craiului chalet then continued until the trail which runs parallel the main ridge some 500m lower . From here I turned left thru Umerii Pietrei Craiului then met the La Lanturi trail ; which I followed up to Saua Grind . I turned then right to trek the southern ridge up to Saua Funduri where I arrived at 8.15pm. The descent was by Urzicii valley to Prepeleag where the night arrived (it was 9pm). For the next hour I descended thru the woods to Crucea Granicerului and the Hunting Lodge ; the last 3km were on forestry road. A nice trip which took me 10 hours instead of the planned 8. Alone.
