This one is a moderate difficulty for a climber and extreme for a person with no climbing experience including high wall traverses and probes. We and wanted to the Rysy ascend from Poland into Slovakia. The weather was too bad so we did not risk it.<br /><br />Why I write so much is because we were with a mountain guide who is also a mountain rescue brigade on the Slovak side. He told us never start any ascend after noon as 95% of his rescues are involving people who start climb late and get stuck in bad weather. You never can predict bad weather. I hope you take this advice seriously for your next hikes!<br /><br />However, your Rysy experience is commendable and we will attempt it again the next time we visit Slovakia :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037516016063095160noreply@blogger.com
