Map of Făgăraş mountains: Brătila saddle - Rosu peak

Our route starts from the border of Brațul where there is a lake and a refuge, bypasses the Brătila and Cățunu peaks on the western slope leading to the peak of Mezei. From here we go down to the Păișului saddle and get to the Oticul's valley. The trail still carries a piece of weather on the summit.
When we start to climb, we are on the foot of Red Mountain, covered with stone slabs. A last climb and 7 hours after the Bratilei valley we reach of the Red peak (2469 m). We are on the main ridge of the Iezer-Păpușa mounting and here we find the mark of the crest, the red band.
