We have a history with this peak. Bogdan and Mon Blanc are two peaks in whose first climbing I failed. And although they can’t be comparable, for me they’ve something in common.
A few years ago, I tried to hike Bogdan peak from Starosel with friends and it turned out that the snow surprised us.😊 Charlie also was with us. We left Starosel late and reached Chivira hut. We sank hard in the snow, we had no headlights, the day was short, and we decided to give up. Then I forgot about this peak.
I couldn't climb Mont Blanc because of the cold. We were four friends. We left refuge Gute to the top in the middle of the night. It was very cold, a strong wind was blowing, and in two hours my toes were freezing. The cold overcame me, and I had to return to the hut. I took the failure hard, but the next year we got to the top in better weather. Then I remembered that Bogdan peak has not been climbed yet. This time we chose a faster trail, starting from Koprivshtitsa and without any problems in a few hours we reached the highest peak in Sredna Gora.
This is my second hiking to Bogdan. We got lucky with the weather. I went back to my memories. If you watch this video, you’ll also understand the story of the little flag, which is always with me when I climb peaks.
There’re more 27 peaks left...
I'm Lora! Have a nice trip! 😊
