The Davies, Route 8 Dzhangal#87 Djangal#87 Option 1 The Davies, Route 8 has two options. Djangal ( I prefer this spelling!) is a mighty peak made of great rock and has over a dozen routes to the summit. We think two should be enough for here! The Davies, Route 8. Option 1. Starting at […]

The Davies, Route 5. Pitel #44, Mozgovishki Chukar #45#46#47#49 Mozgovishki Chukar has proved to be one of the hardest routes to put together for The Davies. It isn’t the most technically challenging route or the longest. Those titles probably go to Yalovarnika #55 and Golena #58. But route 4 poses it’s own unique chalenges. […]

The Davies, Route 2. Djano #80, Chengel Chal #81, Demir Chal #82, Yazunov Vrah #83, Kornishki Vrah #84, Hleven #85, Kadiev Vrah #90. As a contrast to Route 1, I thought route 2 should be one of least visited corners of Pirin. I have a profound love for the extremities of National Park Pirin. […]

The Davies, Route 1. Vihren #17 and Hvoinati #18. There is no particular order that you should climb The Davies. Route 1, for most people, has to be the highest and most impressive mountain in Pirin. Over the next 20 or 30 posts we aim to describe our favourite routes to top of the […]

Hiking the Davies. I’ve been playing the game for ten years now; this year will be my 11th hiking the Davies in Pirin. I suppose its a bit silly to call it a game as so far there are only two of us playing it! BUT I have great hopes for this one. In a […]
