Ascents in Piatra Mare

Requires at least 5 extended quickdraws, lots of traversing and bolts placed left-right, especially in pitch 2

We had to do 3 rappels, coming down the way we went up, couldn't figure out from the description how to do it in less, beware that two of those rappels were on old and a bit sketchy pitons with rings

Make sure to continously warn people gathering at the bottom, the rock is very sketchy and it seems to be a popular spot for pictures down there

The climbing itself is very easy

Did it in 2 pitches, on 60m halfropes. P1 is easy slab, 3 UIAA. P2 starts with a traverse and then heads on a friable chimney (pulled a quickdraw there since I needed to manage some twisted up.ropes). Use extendable quickdraws on it, and a bunch of 120cm ones on the traverse, since there's a/lot of drag otherwise and leader can't hear you through most of it. On retreat, we set up 2 rappels (one 10m and one 25m) to the saddle between the rocks - legend has it that a single 60m is enough, but our 60m didn't reach )
