We arrive to the place at night like each time.  The men, who set on the way sooner, found place for parking indeed without map by one’s natives in court above village. We also overnight above her cottage. It is very cold in the morning, so we stay in sleeping bags till 8:30, when we leave. According to native's advice we go without way notice in case that we will find it later. But contrary is the case, we cannot find it for many hours. We lost the way definately and we go absurd sheer slope, through boscage and we wade in mud ( someone aslo up to knees) . So gormless we reach spacious saddle Medzirozsutce - 1200 asl ( above sea level ). We don't spend time for anything and hurry up to Malý Rozsutec - 1344 asl. It is easy to get on the top, but with wet boots and rocks little bit dangerous. We set on the way to summit of Velký Rozsutec - 1610m after substantial snack. It is infinite uphill with heavy bags ( someone 20 kg ) over hard snow and rocks as far as we reach the op 1610 asl. Vista of High Tatra mountains is misty. But we have very good outlook to whole range of Malá Fatra also starting edge of Low Tatra mountains etc. We descent to saddle Medziholie ( 1185 asl ), where we planned stayin overnight, but it is not possible because of overcrowded place of many tourists. So we have to descent next nearly 600 altitudinal meters above village Štefanová, where we fall asleep hidden in pine grove, inebriated by beautiful ascent also some strong water and supergrass. It is annoyingly cold again in the morning, so we hurry over field Dolná Diera also along the road 3 km as far as our cars.
