Notes and recommendations

Fitness and endurance in high altitude climbing is essential especially on this tour. Like on the trail to Świnica, turning back is not allowed except in case of emergency.

Despite its difficulty, this mountain tour is very popular and crowded on days with fine weather so I recommend starting early or doing it rather not on a weekend.

I also highly recommend wearing a helmet on the entire trail.
