The first point where I could see the summit cross, even with a 200mm zoom. Krivan was one hell of a lot bigger than I expected from photos and hike reports.

The summit, with the marker cross just visible. Coming down, I crab-walked the entire ridge visible to the right of the cross, and then some.
