Peak Bayuvi Dupki, also known as Kamenititsa, is located in the northern part of Pirin between Razlozhki Suhodol and Banski Suhodol peaks. It stands at an elevation of 2820 m. Positioned along the karst ridge, it is entirely composed of marble and has three distinct summit points.
The peak can be reached from Yavorov Hut (about 4 - 4 hours 40 minutes), from Vihren Hut via Peak Vihren (5 hours 40 minutes), or from Banderitsa Hut (4 hours). Under snowy conditions, the hike requires excellent mountaineering skills, good judgment of specific conditions and weather, and appropriate equipment. In some places, the ridge connecting the three summit elevations of Peak Bayuvi Dupki is only about one meter wide. The northeastern slopes descend almost vertically into the eponymous cirque, while the southern slopes drop steeply towards the Vlachina River. The risk of slipping and unpleasant incidents is significant. At the beginning of the summer season (when snow is still present in the gullies) and in late autumn (when there are icy sections or snow), reaching the summit via the summer trail is dangerous. If you encounter a steep snowy or icy section, it is preferable to bypass it from above, if possible, instead of crossing it. If approaching from Yavorov Hut and suspecting icy or snowy sections, instead of following the summer trail along the southern slopes (marked in red), you might try the winter route via Razlozhki Suhodol peak or simply turn back.
In good weather and summer conditions, when the trails are dry, climbing from any of the mentioned starting points should not pose a problem for well-conditioned hikers, and the stunning views from the summit are well worth the effort.
