A couple of days in Moscow and again on the road. The train from Moscow to Ivano-Frankivsk, day on the road and a team of Action Brothers to face me and Vania Malakhov already in the solar Ukraine, our way lies to the mountain Goverla.

Mount Goverla - the highest point in Ukraine's 2061m. Name of the Hungarian means "Snow Mountain" - which is not surprising. At the foot is one of the sources of the Prut River. About Goverle Rod and there is a beautiful story. According to legend, they were once boys and girls who love each other until proznal about Mountain King, the father of the girl. To Rod did not find Goverlu father put it, turning up the hill. Rod same proznal, to spell your favorite, you must climb to the summit at dawn. But had no time before dawn, he sat down on a hillside Goverly and wept. Oh, and weeps until now the river Prut, it follows from the slopes Goverly.

Day training sunny and warm, on the basis of already everything is green, but above the forest could be seen the majestic snowy peak of the country. We looked at this picture runs, greeted each other and in a way. We pass the spring woods, streams everywhere and nature wakes up. Next is the dwarf firs and tall grass, in places with snow. And finally the main lift, and which forms the idea of ​​the snow. Strong wind gusts knocked down and a solid crust of snow that resembles concrete.

Our task was to descend to the left of the couloir Goverly and climb to start. It was clear that the track complex only because of the snow conditions. As a result, when climbing at the start I rasmotrela his line and chose a couple of small stones with which it was possible to safely jump. My estimated fare for second place. Forecast predveshal worsening weather.

Morning finals got some muddy. All went to say that the finale will not, then he will. As a result, we Vanya Malakhov were latecomers in together and went on to start. And happily get lost, wandering, wandering, and eventually came out, only it took a lot of time and effort. . Finals took place, I started by knocking down wind and snow and well, was a very happy and jumped a couple of times and thought that a victory in my hands. But it was not there, my line more easily appreciated by the rules and cup the other estimates can not exceed it, so a girl with a more complex line, according to judges, even without jumping won. Conclusion - the need to carefully read the rules. I'm in second place. I want to say a special Thanks to my sponsors: Action Brothers, DAKINE, Giro, «skvot» board shop, Apo, Picture Organic
