People: M&M Trybulec, Aro
Place: large bunkers near Janowek
On the verge of the new season and anticipating several fun trips,
we decided that we need some practice. So we went to Janowek, to the big bunkers there,
to play some with ropes. The weather was very nice (for the beginning of April),
which got us doing a 50 meter ascent twice, and after that a tyrolian traverse and a normal traverse.
And it turned out that the are some nice formations
on the bunkers: stalagmites, stalactites and very nice, although not very big, rice fields -
it's a wonder they were in such good state and not destroyed.
Actually, I don't think I saw nicer looking rice fields than here
(maybe except for Chocholowska Rift, but there they were bigger, not necessarily prettier).
