About the unmarked routes, I had already some arguings with the rescue team that is not good to give details about it, most to make routes pages because of posible accidents or getting lost (to get lost yes it is so easy, I lost the path myself in my last out there and wasnt easy to get back)... But in a way on romanian sites you can find plenty of this descriptions
so Im not sure how is better
... Otherwise some of climbers that post TR about unmarked routes they dont give you the keys infos... they want to keep it secret for not being destroyed by too many that will go there...
Good points there, pro and contra. I understand the viewpoint of the rescue team, they want less problem for the visitors and also for themselves
But, as you say there is definitely information out there, well enough to raise interest and get people into going up the unmarked routes, but not good enough to provide them a solid reference to rely on, therefore increasing the chance to get in trouble. It is very important to stress out clearly that these paths are for people who are already 1) familiar with PC 2) familiar with rock climbing and the safety issues concerning it 3) have no problems with orientation, and if they get lost, they are prepared to bivouac. Perhaps this sounds like scaring off, but that's how it should be presented to prevent unskilled hikers from entering the territory which they are not comfortable with.
Anyway, just start off with the ridge as you mentioned, then you'll have time to think over the disclosure of hidden paths
Btw, where did you get lost?
