Right now I'm on the road to Ivano-Frankivsk, coming back from the hike. And it's a little sad because we're already heading back, but there's so much joy that I got to meet such an incredible number of amazingly cool people. This isn't my first hike with Kuluar, and it's already my second time on this route. Last year our love story began, but last time I had to drop out of the route, so this year I could finish it with these awesome people. Absolutely everyone on the team contributed to making these days what they were - incredible! Special thanks to our guides Ivan and Dmytro. You can immediately tell they love what they do, they're open, generous and supported everyone so much. They told interesting stories and facts. We climbed both Hoverla and Petros almost in full strength, positively, quickly, didn't lose anyone, no injuries, sore muscles - that's sacred😅👌😆. The weather was fire. Hoverla let us admire her, waited until we descended, and then wrapped her peak in wind and clouds. Petros greeted us with very beautiful snow, but really asked us not to linger at the summit so he could rage a bit, and on the way down he opened up the sun for us. It was simply - Love! Thank you all, from 2 teams we had one huge family for these 4 days! Thank you!💔
