SUMMER 2008
- August 30th: Fagaras. A trip quite similar to the previous one; we've left the car on the
Transfagarasan road at 1910m elevation at the last intersection of the
paved road with the trail which comes from the Capra Chalet; we took the
trail upwards towards Capra Lake
and Saddle 
. The initial plan called
for a climb on Vanatoarea lui Buteanu peak but the strongs winds sent us back
towards the Capra Lake then the steep descent trail towards Cota 2000
Salvamont Chalet 
. The weather was quite ugly, with rain at the beginning
and end of the trip plus very chilly wind gusts.

SUMMER 2003
August 16th: Fagaras. By night; we've left from Balea Lac Chalet towards Capra Saddle 
- Paltinu
Saddle - somewhere on the main ridge (we turned back because our only light
bulb broke) - again Capra Saddle - Capra Lake - (here we got lost, we
started to navigate using the GPS and full moon) Cota 2000 Chalet. The last
3km were on asphalt 
(Transfagarasan road, including the tunnel) with
arrival at the car around 4am - this way we managed to see the sunrise
around Curtea de Arges.
Together with Bogdan Visinescu.
