Piatra Craiului, Jan 2022, aerial view

First view, over Piatra Mica area.

Hovering over Turnu peak, with amazing cloud formations and high wind.

Moving further south, a lot more snow on the tops. Hovering over the shelter close to “Ascutit” peak.

Sunset over the peak named “Ascutit”.

Piatra Craiului – La Om Peak, Spring 2015

The view from the base of the mountains; actually taken the next day 🙂

On the 1st of May 2015, after putting together a thorough climbing plan, we decided to try for the peak. We were hoping for clearer weather as we gained altitude.

We finally reached the peak 1 hour after the clear sky forecast deadline. Fortunately, the meteo guy was wrong 🙂

The climb was epic, and we actually had great fun while doing it. Reaching this peak was a long time goal of mine and going under these conditions makes it even more interesting.

I hope you enjoy the panos and as always I definitely recommend the Full Screen mode.
 

Prapastiile Zarnestilor, August 2011

With walls up to 200m in height, this 4km long canyon is a wonder of nature. Located near the city of Zarnesti, the canyon is a spectacular way into the hearth of Piatra Craiului mountain range. The road eventually leads to Curmatura chalet, the starting point for many tourist tracks in the area.
