In that point i was hurried and began to run because it began to get dark,but that was a mistake because i lost the right descent path.
After 15 minutes i thought that something is going wrong,so i walked back and i searched for the right one.
I found it after 1 hour ,but i lost it again ,because i passed a crossroad without signs on the rocks...
It was very dark,but fortunately my headlamp had new batteries and finally i found the path.
After 1 hour i made it to return...

The 4 mistakes i made...

1.I began my hike at afternoon on paths i followed for the first time.
2.I was hurried and not concentrated and i lost the path
3.I was running for 15 minutes without seeing signs on the rocks
4.I was alone

I am still angry with myself because i ran/hike on the mountains since 2013 and these mistakes are unforgivable for a experienced mountaineer like me.

To remember this bad night and how stupid i was, i took this failed photo...

The Dancing Lights...

I will learn from my mistakes and i will be more careful for now on...

thanks for stooping by
