The route itself is incredible, but difficult, and the views from the summits really take your breath away. The campsite on the Menchul meadow on the first day was simply wonderful, and so was the club's rental gear — everything in good condition. But unfortunately the overall impression was badly spoiled by the guide's work and the constant rush. Even with good physical fitness and experience from previous hikes, we barely had time to enjoy the mountains — we were constantly "running late" for something. And on the summit of Petros, after a hard climb, we stayed only half an hour, hurriedly cooking food. I definitely recommend doing this route, but I would suggest splitting it into four days instead of three so that people can properly feel the mountains, because in our case we were just rushing somewhere non-stop and barely spent any time on the summits themselves. The club should definitely be more careful in selecting and training its guides.
