8th March on a Black mountain

Shortly before March, 8th to me the group of tourists of the Kiev section "Vertical" has addressed. On forthcoming days off they were going "to take a walk" on Gorgany and asked to share a GPS-track of our last year's winter hike on Carpathians . In exchange guys have promised to write about the adventures. And here today I publish their report. Unfortunately, in Gorgany have not got - have solved, that together there will be stremno. Instead of it(this) descended(went) on CHernogorsky a ridge - have risen on Priest Ivan with Dzembroni, have then gone(send then) on Menchul, but up to Goverly do not send in addition(have reached). Almost all time was such fog, that on 5 meters nothing is visible. Even GPS not always helped(assisted) - midday could not find the crosspiece with Smotricha on Priest Ivan (Black mountain), and so all super. Have met many groups - on an observatory spent the night nearby 40 person!

In the bottom of a snow is not present in general, it is not trusted at all, that it(he) once here was. Somewhere halfway on Smotrich the snow, and on top absolute winter begins. Everywhere snow pressurizations, kozyrki, all is visible vykaty avalanches, in an ice, depth of a snow from polumetra up to an one and a half. I shall send you points and trek.

Up to Dzembroni reached so: from And-õÓᡬ«ó߬á marshrutkoj up to Verhoviny (25 грн/3 hour), there goes each hour, and from Verhoviny it is necessary to take a taxi up to Dzembroni. There on terrible road - taxi drivers ask 25 km from 75 grn for the machine(car) - Bobik. Here it, apparently, an optimum variant dobora. We any more first time go in Dzembronju and while anything the best have not thought up. This time we went down back on a way of rise, but it is possible to pass(take place) all CHernogorsky a ridge (these are 3-4 days in good weather), to come on Goverlu and therefrom to go down or on shelter Kazmenchik, and therefrom 9 km up to Lazeshchiny (the diesel engine therefrom goes in And-õÓ), or on skiing lodge Zarosljak, and therefrom by machine(car) up to Vorohty. If to not go on CHErnogoru but only on Priest Ivan therefrom it is possible to go down in village Shibene - to go as much, as well as in Dzembronju (1 running day), but it is more interesting, than to come back on the same way.

On time poluchatesja so: Willows-õÓ. - village Dzembronja - at the best by a dinner. The village - mountain Smotrich - is real, if not hurrying up - 1 day. A steep slope on mountain. To stay the night it is possible on the crosspiece between Smotrichem and Priest Ivan. On Priest Ivan - 1 hour on good weather. Theoretically here it is possible to come and in the first put, and to stay the night in an observatory.

Well, approximately so :)
