Itinerary description

Plan was to do two mountains today but only managed this one. The other one, Hatta, will have to wait. Due to bad shape of the road I had to leave the car 2km earlier than expected and then I also went up to early so I and came across impassable canyon so I had to go down about 250m. Very ice also. Didn´t put on the crampoons due to lots of rocks. Once I fell on my belly and couldn´t stop me with the ice-axe so I just turned and faced the direction I was sliding and steered pass the big rocks until I was able to stop. Also there was occasional fog. However mangaged to get to the summit and kind of adventurous trip ;). During summer this is an easy one, and it´s better not to go into the steep too soon, rather follow the river.
