Once again I have the chance to find Ciri Turcanu available for climbing. This time due to the weather and my llack of training we decide to climb the Twisted Fissure wich is eassy to reach from Busteni by an nice 1.5 Hrs. walk by beech and fir forest,and for the quit retreat by rappeling in the case of rain. We quik pass the Costila Cottage and we reach the climbing route,we start with Ciri leading, the nice climb for 4 rope lenghts with large regrouping platforms recured with new expanding pittons much safer than the 80′. The view over the Costila-Galbinele Ridge and Eagles Wall is realy fantastic and motivated for the next adventures. We continue the climb over the ridge wich this days is secured with a fixed rope for more safety and reach the tree for 25 meters rappeling after wich we land on the valley. It was a nice day recalling the 80′,in my case I climb this route back in 1985 and Ciri in 1980, for I thanks again Ciri for unchanged fellowship.
