Big Fatra- From Rakytov under The Black Rock, 12th Jun 2010

How to fill the time before finishing the unfinished crest in Poland? And so we were running away from the town`s smell and noise to the silence of Big Fatra. There had been silence till we, Ivka The Burdock, Tanja The Hoarse and me, Miro The writing, came to scare bears away. Paranoia? Why not. They are so many. (so much I crave to meet one... and nothing)

I`ll omit our straying in the steepness, thick woods and down-running water everywhere. And that way, bellowing, we aproached the south-eastern slopes of Rakytov. We took a micro halt, a mini photo in the saddle and did a maxi climb. In the middle of the climb we encountered a group of cca 10 people. We photographed the vista from the top and it is obvious we could not make the Black Rock. It did not matter. The descent was marvelous, maybe much more than that. The Black Rock will wait its time, which is good. We were taking home nice thoughts, pics, and sunburnt shoulders.
