>>173635to finish this: I found unopened bottle of fresh beer. couldn't resist. the day ended perfectly.
during all three "breaking" points we were totally emotionally devastated, yet smehow we kept our minds clear enough to find our way to safety.
the istake we made was when we underestimated the trail - we hoped that if the trail is marked and we fund no warnings regarding the difficulty (nor on the web, neither in guidebooks) we were sure that no such situation happen. now I know that without ropes and climbing gear the trail i nearly impossible to challenge during winter, definetely not with a backpack larger than 40l and heavier than ~15kg
