Well equipped with winter mountaineering equipment the group of 5 experienced hikers - members of mountaineering club "Transverzalec" climbed Sin Vrv, Bakardan and the highest Titov Vrv peak in 4 hours and 45 minutes. Exceptionally beautiful, sunny and clear weather provided sights on the entire Šar Mountain massif, as well as most highest mountain massifs in all of Macedonia and this southern part of the Balkans, thus we had a chance to make high-quality images that will be used for creating and improving articles on Macedonian Wikipedia in the forthcoming period.
