I should correct myself - 30 degrees were measured at 1000m, but w/o wind, the realfeel was certainly higher. At our peak of 1700m, I guess the absolute temp was lower and light wind made it quite pleasant

around noon, when I was approaching the summit for the second time, I was above treeline, the trail relatively easy (already almost flat, hiking along the main ridge), but the heat was sucking my energy. That part was for me the most difficult

But I am glad and thankful for the weather and views. Babia Góra is very prominent (more than 1000m) and it usually attracts clouds and rains. Been there twice when at the bottom was 25 and sunny, but on the peak it rained and temp dropped sharply

60k comes from making small steps; when I do my morning walk - on flat - I typically do 7km in one hour and it makes some 8500 steps. In mountains I need more steps per meter of distance (35km vs 60k steps)
