Describing my 11th ascend of Kriváň on occassion of traditional national ascend of Slovaks to it will have to be far more a theological treatise than anything else. I heard my vocation there. Here I won't write about what I felt, I'll write about the weather.
First day after low air pressure disappears with bad weather, the skies are usually clear and visibility is perfect - also in summer, as you see here. I saw my brocken spectre from the summit, together with halo effect from below.

Hasn't voted | Thanks Jacek, I was so happy. I prayed for such a weather. God is so amazing, he did it for me and He wants something back for it. He's a good calculator :) | | Posted Sep 18, 2008 4:50 pm |
| peterbud | Nice to see you | | 
Voted 10/10 | I wanted to make a phone call later today to check if things are all right with you, now I'm relieved. Could you send me an e-mail later sometime? The addresses I had seem not to be working. Cheers! Peter | | Posted Sep 18, 2008 9:33 am |

Hasn't voted | Hi Peter, sorry for not responding to you! My e-mails are working, as I remember, you sent me a notation about new picasaweb album. I'm OK now and prepared for next trips, but first of all, to finish my studies until next summer. Cheers, Tomas :) | | Posted Sep 18, 2008 4:48 pm |
| | peterbud | Re: Nice to see you | |
Voted 10/10 | Indeed, first focus on your studies! Yes the email was about photos. Your work email did bounce back with a serious error message, so why I was puzzled what could have happened. Oh, digital world playes tricks with us, better do spend our time on fresh air ;) | | Posted Sep 20, 2008 9:31 am |

Hasn't voted | I left work for studies, that may be the cause of the trouble with my work email :) I'm sorry I didn't go to High Tatras this september, and I doubt whether I will go some more time this year because of studies, but let's see. I will go to czech mountains more often. My possibilities grow instantly, on the other hand, I'm short of time and money. After I finish my studies in june, I plan to spend much time in Tatras, Alps, etc. in summer 2009. Next weekend comes my personal summit of the year - Ortler! Cheers, Tomas :) | | Posted Sep 23, 2008 4:39 am |

Voted 10/10 | All right, I wish you a pleasant way to the top of Ortler and back! Cheers, Peter | | Posted Sep 24, 2008 8:15 am |

Hasn't voted | OK, I understand, I wrote it like it was something bombastic. It won't fill newspapers' headlines for sure, but it's important to me. It's a secret, until it comes into being and it will last years :) | | Posted Sep 18, 2008 4:54 pm |

Voted 10/10 | But the important 'vocation' cannot wait!
I can now see why the Polish and Slovaks
refer to these mountains as being HEAVEN.
Best of luck on your vocation and adventures!
