Van Vleck 29.3. 2014



I went to Van Vleck couple years ago and it was the first hut trip I did. The Van Vleck hut is very well equipped and I was looking forward going back. This winter wasn't much of snow, but the Saturday we were going the weather forecast wasn't great. There were a few things that didn't go that well. We started later than I intended; it was raining in the beginning, but snowing later, and not everybody took snowshoes; and not everybody was fit enough. When we reached winter bad weather shelter, we discussed if we should turn around or continue. First, all of us agreed to keep going, but when we started to get ready for next section, few people decided to turn around. Splitting group into two didn't sound like good idea so we all went back. Maybe next year we will try again.

Ja jsem byla v chate Van Vleck pred nekolika lety a byl to muj prvni vylet na tento typ chat. Chata Van Vleck je dobre vybavena a tak jsem se tesila az se do ni zase podivam. Tuto zimo nebylo mnoho snehu, ale v sobotu, kdy jsme vyrazeli predpoved pocasi nebyla moc dobra. Par veci se nevydarilo jak melo. Vysli jsme pozdeji nez jsem chtela, na zacatku prselo, ale zacalo snezit pozdeji, ne vsichni meli sneznica a ne kazdy byl dostatecne fit. Kdyz jsem dosli do pristresi, ktere slouzi pro pripad spatneho pocasi, rozhodovali jsem se, jestli pujdeme dale a nebo se otocime. Nejdrive vsichni souhlasili, ze pujdeme dale, ale kdyz jsem se chystali vyjit dal, tak se par lidi rozhodlo otocit. Rozdeleni skupiny nebyl dobry napad a tak jsem vsichni sli zpet. Snad pristi rok to zkusime znovu.
