RE: Above the Sky - On the highest peak of Balkan, mountain Musala [My Travel Blog]
wow, those photos are gorgeous, and what a cool story - I love that a mountain brought two strangers together in such a deep way.
At what time of year did you do this hike? I would imagine that it's quite snowy during the wintertime? I'd love to go there someday - I have some ancestry in Bulgaria so I have a good excuse beyond wanting to see the Balkans! :D
I climbed Musala once during winter - it is very chalenging winter climb and can be quite hard. Winter climb to Musala is usual preparation for spring climb to Mont Blanc - stamina you need is almost equal. This particular climb was in the middle of September, and as you can see - it was very pleasant experience :)
Yeah, wow I don't think you could've asked for better weather - simply beautiful!
