Ascent in Vârful şi Creasta Picăturii

Part of a whole-ridge attempt we abandoned before Fata Inalta due to iffy snow (v aerated but hard enough to make climbing the rock under it problematic) and a team that wanted to do the last part under star-cross-and-headlight but reasonably speaking shouldn't have tried it that night. Picatura itself is in lovely conditions, decently hard snow and some ice in the chimneys. Approach on Muchia Trandafir is nice and consolidated too, and easily protectable simulclimbing on a 50m rope. On Strungii peak we did about 2.5 pitches on the aforementioned iffy snow, retreated on Albisoara Turnurilor
