Air Bucegi

Sunday was a big day ! After saturday's storm we were eager to do a great mountain tour. And it was ! Five mountaineers (and later on we were nine !) started the assault of the ridges going to Vf. Omu, top of Bucegi. The chosen upgoing path was "Creasta Balaurului (Bucsoiul Mic)" and the return path was "Creasta Morarului - Braul Mare al Morarului". The weather was perfect with 16C degrees at 14 o'clock, when in the country was 38C ! Going to nothern parts of Bucegi was the right choice.

Hurry up, it's time to return safe home:

"Creasta ascutita", maybe the most aerial ridge on a non alpine route (without technical materials). (adica un loc f.f. bun de plantat morcovi :D)

I've returned on the ridge, trying to get a better photo:
