Mountain and the Human

I know that for many is associated with great summer, however for those seeking adventure and do not know where to find her urge to try Mt. In August and I was on stage rebel without a cause, but has found it with the candle. In fact, we and searched a lot. Write the memory of the journey, not those who are already trained to mount, but for those who know to a greater or lesser extent the rules of "movement", but have not really implemented.

Plan to conquer

The plan was simple and to the point. Ascent by cable car to the Old Women, road to cross, ascent followed by descent to the Omu and return by Deer Valley. But always count rarely even home can not match that of the "mountain". Group of six people as different as possible. So she decided the great assembly, that half to climb to Babele Jepii Small and mid to sober up at 5 to lift the logs reach 7. It is important to remember that cable wakes up at 8, but if you do not want to wait in line forever (which is immensely greater) good to be at gate 7. Price of entry is 25 ron.
I got the first cable car while members of the two teams were in the Jepi cheerful step. Once I began to have visions of another century. But as soon as possible to clarify the mystery. On August 27 is celebrated on the Romanian army crossed the mountains marking the entry into WWI. And for this reason a group was dressed in clothes of the period of war. So glad we've just arrived at the cross and witnessed a beautiful ceremony in memory of their fallen and opening of the national flag. The truth is that the Track on the song "Pass the Roman battalions Carpathians" has never seemed greater significance than that time.

We said goodbye and we continued our journey to the top Omu. Yupi slowly, but surely will be my first conquered the peak. Already starting to see it and yet I was a little disappointed, because he was too close ... only fate had not been so nice to us. What seemed to be a maximum one-hour journey turned into a chore for two hours and half. Now to my defense I must say that I do one move and drag it to increase your browsing. So, not so active person and it shows in the extra weight had to car. For this reason the route was quite slow.
Already reached the summit legs started to ask me health and not in the best way possible. We joined the other half of the group. I did stop by pranzo-dinner and started to descend, although another route studied longer, because it was already three o'clock we decided to lower Deer Valley. It's a shorter route, but this is not difficult and I say it, but people with much more experience than me.

It had done eight o'clock we were still descending and besides, if my knee was not yielded enough mentally, physically, emotionally, which had been subjected to pressure. And therefore my sister had to be my crutch. I called the mountain rescue and guided us and eventually had to save us. I had pills and drugs to me, but it's hard to think when you are in the position of the injured. So already at the bold new joke, we are in the woods with bears and torches on the phone. Finally salvamontistii we have recovered and at the insistence of the mother Alexandra phone (my friend) and we already knew our life story.
    
At ten o'clock half, logs all waiting for us if we rebuke or hug us as we arrived. It was worth the effort and anguish I went through all the deprivation of water, therefore we understand that although we have reached Omu Mountain impressed me so I vowed that I will return with fresh forces.

Guide of good behavior:

Very few know what they should do on the mountain, acetate reason I pulled roughly about the mistakes I made and how they could be avoided.

-First rule, a group never parted, that we have split created a long waiting pause.
-Have water and chocolate, although I had one liter of water per person not helped us (preferably water is divided into several bottles).
-Summer or autumn to use sunscreen and lip balm one. We had and we ended with very serious burns. Because air is more rarefied so that the sun catch you instantly.
-Have a change of clothes even if you go for one day, you will sweat terribly. Necessarily a jacket against the wind.
-Although I was not equipped in terms of drugs we used. I lioton gel knee and fluff. I applied the gel but I went head to tie my knee enough to bud provided. Possible for people who know they have knee problems taking medicines, extremely important.
-Do NOT go in shoes like sneakers and boots if you have them please check that you are okay. I had serious mountain boots, but my foot was broken halfway. Besides being with both knees in agony and had to still go watch it.
-Have flashlights. We used the the phone, but that's no solution, deoarce need battery for emergency phone calls.
-If that cloud announced, rescue, friends, family, etc..

Mount does not forget and each time they ask price for the mistakes you make, but if you respect the reward is beyond measure.
