Descending adventure from the mountain (Kučke Planine)

It's been a long time and for sure it has been a long journey to be exact 15.5 thousand kilometers since I last wrote about this mountaineering trip. I did promise you closure - but sometimes, as we all know, life happens.

However about ascending to the top I wrote in my previous posts and promised you a closure. So, back to the top of the mountain.

One of the things I like the most with high altitude mountain-tops (and some lower ones) is 360 degree view, its just magnificent to see all these Earth's monuments stretching in front of you and to the endless distance vanishing on the horizon.

And just cause it is so magnificent view, here are some more photos showing the ruthless and harsh nature and weather conditions - destroying rocks and shaping the world as it wants.

Another thing from 360 degree views.... wherever you look it is a different scenery, every peak has a different story to tell.

Whoever has climbed any mountain/hill knows that reaching the top is only half-"job" done. For us, poor creatures with knee problems and accumulated leg(s) injuries well... rest of the day is pretty shit, but lets not complain - at least not much. We started descending.

Our adventure was circular (we didn't come back using the same path), so... hard way down the mountain sharp rocks, and danger and accidents lurking behind every peak.

Of course - In our team we had a guy who was so irritating and boring with his talks and praises... But as usually there is some cosmic justice, which showed us that mountaineering requires high concentration and not just talking and not watching where you are stepping...

The guy dislocated his knee, and the panic in that moment.. well, it was the first time I experienced that someone gets seriously injured during the hike. Luckily he was able to limp back with support from the group and walking sticks.

After his knee was stabilized and tighten up, we continued our journey...

After some time we approached a glacier, as we were closing in, he was getting bigger and bigger, beneath another massive rocky tower, Sadly I didn't manage to get beautiful shot of shadows/grass/light on these "steps" on that pilon.
However, when we reached the ice... another wonder... :) cold as hell, gathering there for few years never melting.

At this moment i tried adjusting my steps to relief pain in my left knee but that only loads and pressurize the right one. with every step it was getting harder and harder with hot spots on my feet appearing and starting to form calluses, guess it goes with footwear and not being used for a long time. Here I tried to capture some fine line between lightness and darkness but my shitty camera can't do that, but Still love this image for all the light dots in the lens.

And finally as the Sun was setting and we found ourselves back on the road, with colorful autumn leaves.

Back to civilization, and rest for the night with wine, friends, laughs and lovers - whatever you "bring" with you. ;)
