Bucsoiu Peak is one of the most impressive peaks of Bucegi Mountains, dominating the north side of the Abrupt. The route along Bucsoiu ridge is quite demanding. It is rather steep, and has more than 1000m of elevation gain. It has a short steeper section around the middle of the way. As any steep trail, it is better suited for uphill. I would not recommend it on bad weather as the ridge is quite exposed. The trail is officially closed during the winter season. We returned on the adjacent Malaiesti valley, one of the most spectacular glacial valleys in Bucegi Mountains.

Vârful Bucșoiu este vârful muntos clasat al treilea între vârfurile muntoase din Munții Bucegi, cu altitudinea de 2.492 m, fiind depășit doar de Omu, 2.507m și Bucura Dumbravă, 2.503 m. Accesul pe vârf se poate face din mai multe direcții: dinspre vârful Omu, dinspre cabana Poiana Izvoarelor sau dinspre valea Mălăiești prin Brâna Caprelor. Este vizibil de pe creasta Munților Piatra Mare, precum și de pe Valea Râșnoavei.
