"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

One of the bestpeaks in Retezat. Because it's wild and because of the view.

Normal route from Bucura lakeHad a great scrambling adventure and gorgeous panorama. Tried to return 3 times since then:
16/06/2008 - unsuccessful (turned back from below Judele saddle because of dangerously slippery terrain)
25/07/2009 - successful, with nice views all around
11/08/2011 - successful, but spent only a little time on the peak due to weather circumstances)

Two times in the same daythe normal route, from Bucura Lake. Why two times? I forgot my puppy on the peak lol, so need to go back after him. Then we decide to continue, we climb a small part of Judele ridge and descend between Judele and Turnul Portii through a chimney. Couldnt continue all the ridge till Saua Bucurei cause we didnt had rockclimbing gear.
