The “fun” started with winds at 40 kilometers per hour, then 50, and just before reaching the summit, the wind picked up to as much as 70 kilometers per hour.
Upon reaching the summit, they managed to enter the tower at Titov Vrv, where they took a 40-minute break for coffee and a meal. Meanwhile, Blagoja, using a special device to measure wind speed, recorded that the wind outside was blowing at 76 kilometers per hour.
For the return trip, crampons were mandatory.
The return journey was quite cautious. Dressed like astronauts and stepping carefully, they made their way down towards Popova Shapka. The wind accompanied them all the way to Popova Shapka, where they got on their bikes and rode back to Skopje.
Stojanche says they’ve had even more interesting journeys, but this was his first experience on Titov Peak in such winter conditions. Over the weekend, they covered 130 kilometers by bike with 1,800 meters of elevation gain. Meanwhile, their hiking portion measured 22 kilometers with 2,000 meters of elevation gain.
