From last year's eyeing, this year it came sooner than I hoped to hope
In the "backpack" we had two narrower choices, but since the last word this time belonged to the youngest participant, we go for the "shorter" tour
We meet in Kranjska Gora, drive to Val Aupa and use morning cool, which soon starts to fade. At parking already a couple cars, we gear up, hesitate a bit about rope, but since no one raised finger, leave it in car. Walk to trail 437, Grauzaria hut passes quickly and heat is already at work. In between meet climbing group, they aim to climb one of the routes in prominent Sphinx and on way back we catch them climbing a bit below summit
At idyllic Grauzaria hut, with unique backdrop, we refresh a bit and continue towards Foran de la Gjaline saddle, then slight descent, where a bit before Mestri shelter we leave trail 437, and start ascending again on unpleasant path, which is mix of karst, grass, slippery ground and it just doesn't end
Under Sernio wall we don helmets and I with little one await what I'll see over the edge. Initial traverse raises adrenaline and keeps it, since it's nicely spiced one, locally two, especially since emptiness and depth blows behind most time. But holds excellent, rock holds and when in some hidden chimney, it's great. Path originally routed through natural passages and just when we warm up, already stand on ridge and stare ahead to summit…yuhu, Monte Sernio, mighty peak that guards its Grauzaria and though not boasting highest altitude, dominates far around with its shape.
Ah, views...fantastic all around, sit a bit, photo a bit and slowly descend on normal. Debate already "spinning" around lower little tower, which last year we approached on right side "easier", so with buddy already planning to climb harder approach, but youngest participant firmly against and already hunting shade, we two already huff towards Torre Nuviernulis summit. And we went left...yes, really harder than right variant, as has two details, first chimney where half-split obligatory and second rock barrier with slightly overhanging slab, hmm and yes all in stance, and yes then all goes, hehe, thanks to my co-sufferer. Then no more difficulties, passages marked, albeit with faded dots, but see one, spot all. This time found summit book from 2006! , but so what, didn't write (whoever goes, miss some cool). Descended easier variant. Rock and holds excellent.
Descent to non-participant of last ascent, then together through nasty gully, one before Forca Nuviernulis, to marked trail 419. At hut lemonade break and barely got legs going again. I'll come back, first lady Grauzaria awaits
At car decide to find our little pool and we did, in solitary stream somewhere near Ovedasso. While parking, cyclist passed us and vanished . Next time saw him soaking in OUR pool, hahaaa, really made us laugh and cooling a bit shallower , as he occupied deeper "pool", we got kids' puddle, hehehe
Excellent company, then ticked long desired tour + bonus ascent, sun, immense heat, though on wall ascent we had shade all time and then more than welcome cooling...perfect day
