In the past few days, it has snowed, so I climbed the two climbing routes in the Rasnoavei Gorge under winter conditions. While the lower part of the challenging Big via ferrata was dry, the upper section had patches of snow and icicles.

The Lady's Stones represent the heart, the mind, and the soul. The first two only help to understand the world when one possesses knowledge (they can be climbed with rock climbing gear), as emotions and thoughts (the two rock towers) obscure reality (the view).
