August 1978, while doing the 2nd part of our four-week trek: Piatra Craiului - Fagaras - Capatini-Paring - Retezat.
The Fagaras was fantastic but terribly windy. Seems typical of this range.

Route Climbed: Podragu -- Vistea Date Climbed: June 12 2002
Spent two days near the summit in the little reffuge, and climed the summit 7 times; once at night in total darkness because my partner left his camera up there.
Route Climbed: normal route Date Climbed: 20th July
Passed by the summit on a two week trek from Sinaia to Sibiu. Great moutains. Technically very easy but enough height gain and loss to make them a physical challenge. Very quiet when I was there and the weather followed a three day cycle of blue skies building up to an afternoon and evening of thunder storms. Note that water sources seem scarce along the main ridge so take some large water bottles to fill up when you have the chance.

This is a nice mountain area. You have easy treking routes and climbing routes (max. TD) in summer ; in winter it`s more dangerous and you have the posibility to make some ice climbing.

cloudsClimbed the top on a 5 days E-W trip along the ridge. Clouds and only low visibility. Stayed 20+ people in the small refuge below the top!
