So, the guys on cascade climbers are talking about this here precarious rock:



So, how stable is this really? Could it be pushed over with a little effort? Trundling is an American word for deliberately (or perhaps accidentally) rolling/pushing rocks down a mountain side. Maybe there's a word for it over there in Croatia.

Who would say that this 'squatting stone' (translation from croatian) would made it all the way to cascade climbers :-) It is stable, I tried to push it and it doesn't move at all. Of course, I didn't push as hard as I can, to avoid unwanted damage, but I think even if I did it wouldn't move because what is human force comparing to nature forces it is exposed to. And I guess that everyone who ever reached this stone tested it just a bit :-) I can't remember of any special word which would describe deliberate activity to roll the stone/boulder. We just say to roll and add what/who caused it. But to describe it we don’t have to use ‘I’. In our language there are extensions which change the ending of the word for each gender so without using me, him, her, them or us and so on we know who/what caused it. I don’t know if that qualifies as special word because each word which describes action has several variations.

Now Stap is an international page because of its view of the Appenines. Great page with unusual formations.

Another very good page I had missed.
Your image captions are outstanding. They usually tell a little story of their own. Great stuff.

Stap altitude

I think that Stap altitude is for some 100 meters higher as you claim it. 860m is perhaps the lower meadow which we pass by on the route to Stap. Also by Tatek's cabin there's an inscription of altitude, which says something above 900 meters, but I don't remember the number exactly.

Re: Stap altitude

I hope Vid this will reassure you :-) Sjausevac (meadow) below Stap is almost exactly 100m lower and on 750m, while Stap (refuge location) is on around 860m. That altitude on the refuge plate is wrong.

Re: Stap altitude

I saw this map, Sasa. Well, if you say so, then I believe you, of course. Hiking through that karst labirynth must had made me an illusion of making a bigger altitude difference :(

I'll post a few more pictures tomorrow or the day after. Now I'm going on a basketball game.

Re: Stap altitude

Velebit terrain is very complex with many ups and downs and physically demanding. For me Alps are easier to hike because once you start going up there is no breaking the rhythm usually to the summit. When you go down it is down :-)

Did you like those jungle like green tunnels in the white karst? That is amazing to me everytime!

Re: Stap altitude

Well, if I liked them? With Jasmina we had a whole discussion if a meadow like Stap would have the same excellence if it was just 5 minutes away from a parking place. Yes, I was fully aware that soft green grass is a blessing in that terrain. But walking over and around those rocks is tiresome. Still, all in all it was a very beautiful experience.
