Inspiration HighTatras SK-journey is the aim

Insert: 22.06.2010
After a looong process about the appropriate term for this trip, we all finally agreed on the operation and the High Tatras trip was launched May 7, 2009. In the morning, of course, with 30 minute delays we are leaving. Crew me (Martin) and my brother David got the direction to Trinec, according to agreement, I had to get into Skoda Octavia estate with Wiktor (Slovenia crash) and Fidel (HonkyTonk shop).



The journey were quite quickly sometimes too much. In Ruzomberok Wlado (www.3limits.sk) was waiting for us. He is a kind of a photographer who enjoys great hiking, and everywhere he goes he walks. The next part of journey was also too quik and after 40 minutes parked together with the workers at the unfinished hotel in Štrbské pleso. Wiktor in anticipation of the powder day takes the K2 HellBent and we started the trip.On the rocky slope towards the ball which proved a mistake. Snow in the High Tatras, at this time,is mainly around Tery cottage, which I discovered in the course of the journey. We were together during the hiking only Wlado a bit at the rear. Thanks momentary visibility from the parking , I chose the rocky slopes ball. During the trip we heard ai numerous comments and questions to our equipment as where and what we do: If you are from Czech and if we wanted to pull the avalanche, etc.  Fortunately, we had a Wlado form SK as a supervision. After almost four and a half hours we came to a couloir which was ridable down to the valley. Repackages features and pushing up a narrow valley, the situation varies with the relative walks on an adrenaline thing.The snow had the consistency of butter and a 10 cm hard impenetrable crust. After another 20 minutes standing on the highest ledge and descend gradually. Drive down about 3-4 curves and then straight about 20 m and the other 3 curves at the end. David goes after me and Fidas on SNB.  For SNB situation was not looking so good and when Fidel was leaving the bottleneck his only edge was gone and he sent it in the spped across the stony fields (no pebbles ). Miraculously stopped after 10 meters with only encountered ass, and crashed wristwatch. Wictor follows and we we limit him from the start because he still has got a few irons in himself. We made a photo on mini kicker and had some fun. From the Valley is begin to roll a big thundercloud and Wiktor advice us what to do and how. So we packed up and closed the ski season. The way down is proving difficult because of the leaping backpack and we starting to get enough of it. After 3,5 hour descent taking off my backpack at 6 .30pm in the car. Operation High Tatras was successfully ended without injuries and rain. Finally, I want to mention that Wlado did not remove his skis or boots from the backpack. Up and down to support the crew. Thanks Wlado.
