Date: 27 th of May. Team: Dragos, Rares, Matei and myself. Mountain trail: Stan's Valley (Valea lui Stan). First of all, I want to thank Matei for translating this article.  Also, Matei added what is written in red (and the gifs) .  I found myself into a self-imposed exile away from any type of mountain and I was trying to focus all my energy towards something else. But I have to admit, I was in over my head with my math-related work and I had to get a breath of fresh air, both mentally and physically. With this being said, I received a phone call from Rares: -If you were to go on a trip, which mountain would it be? - STAN’S VALLEY... ... I responded quickly ( that quickly ), because it was an old debt to pay from last year.

Date: 5 th July 2017. Team: Myself, Drago ș, Rareș, Adi. Route: Piscul Negru—Lespezi Peak (2517m)—Piscul Negru. First of all, I want to thank Matei for translating this article.  Also, Matei added what is written in  red .  The idea for this route came during the Winter when I went through some other mountain journals, during my exam period. I was desperate to see with my own eyes Roza Vânturilor (The Wind Rose) and the whole landscape one can admire from the 4 th tallest peak form Făgăraș Mountains and the 5 th highest from Romania. The only peaks that are higher are: Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Viștea Mare (Big Viștea) (2527 m) and Parângul Mare (Big Parâng) (2519 m). I knew that it wasn’t a technical road (with chains and cables) but the altitude gain was nothing to joke about: 1350m. We ”hunted” good weather and as soon as we got a gap without some rain, off we went.
