SUMMER 2006
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.
SUMMER 2003
- June 1st: Piatra Craiului. We continued our week-end trip after having slept in Brasov. The trail was
Plaiul Foii - La Lanturi - Grind Saddle - southern main ridge -
Funduri Saddle
- Urzicii valley - pe sub Umeri . The weather was
interesting, with rain and hail in the heights but dry at lower altitudes;
the last 2 hours were in dakness thru the forest, to the desperation of
Bogdan 
Together with Bogdan Visinescu.
