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”.

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.
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.
The perfect place to pitch your tent 🙂
