Yesterday I visited the lonely beauty. Great sunny day, crusty snow that doesn't sink, dry wall, great views. Regards!

First time this year I visited it. All trees dressed in ivy. Fairy tale. Lp!

Today I went along the road past the turnoff for Ajdna (towards Potoška planina) where I ran into a warning sign about conditions on Ajdna. Read it!
Obviously winter did its work.

We were there yesterday with the family at that sign, wanted to go to Ajdna, then we walked along the path that turns right to Valvasor where they've nicely arranged the hut surroundings, praise to all responsible.

Start from Jesenice (on foot from home), over Koroška Bela, on nicely trodden path towards Valvasor hut, to "Na Sušeh", from there on the only tracks to turnoff for climbing to Ajdna, further in skins (usual path) and later before summit in 6+ crampons, on again only tracks (from Potoki direction), to summit.
Lots of snow, but still crumbly so caution, especially on descent, not superfluous. Think in shady spots snow won't be "proper" i.e. reliable for long.
Otherwise real winter fairy tale.. (only three entries in book this year)
LP heinz !

Today from Koroška Bela on trodden path towards Valvasor, to "Na Sušeh". From there to summit untrodden (currently a bit already).
From climbing turnoff onwards under s. wall new snow crumbly on icy base, so attempt ascent without crampons quite risky. Ice axe also useful.

Today, for the first time since they installed the novelty steel cables on the climbing path. The path has thus become a via ferrata. With that, the ascent and also the descent (which previously wasn't) have become quite easy. Although the path is still rated as difficult (with mandatory gear).. and rightly so. There is still considerable looseness in the wall, so caution against rockfall - especially on descent (which will surely be done more often in the future).
PD Radovljica, which nicely maintains paths and huts in this area, deserves real praise for the work!
If all mountaineering societies cared for their paths so well!...

As an animal lover, of course I notice your faithful friend first, who obviously accompanies you everywhere. No doubt both enjoy it.
Looks like I'll have to be careful on the path. Thanks for the warning and good luck!

Warning about my Rex not needed, as he doesn't accompany me always and everywhere. He's a socialized dog, likes people and other dogs (sometimes too much). So no caution because of him needed.
Yes, just noticed possible reason for your writing - warning from last year. Of course no longer needed, as the path has been nicely arranged. Only the one on the red sign applies - use path at own risk, with gear etc.
Good luck to you too, tisa!

You misunderstood me. When I meet a dog, it just carries me to it to pet it. Everyone who knows me warns that one day because of this I'll experience disappointment, attack or bite. Can't get out of my skin, I love them and petting them is soul food for me. Always when I see dogs on hikes with owners I wish I had such a friend accompanying me everywhere. But I won't, because I live in a high-rise and don't want the animal to suffer.
As for Ajdna, I'll go as soon as possible to visit it, third time now. I like it a lot, somehow I move to that era and try to imagine how they lived there once. And good luck in future to you and Rex.

Yesterday I noticed that the easy path is excellently adapted: hardened, with steps built in places. We descended it with Rexi, ascended the climbing one. I somewhat regret the latter, since the colleague won't let himself be lifted, so it was quite an effort for him (those few vertical meters).

Too bad for you, my dog was scared at first too, but the second time he was running down the path, take him more times and he'll get used to it and be happier and more confident

This is animal torture by arrogant owners!

This has already been discussed on this forum. Some just think dogs are made for climbing ladders. You see them everywhere, even in high mountains. Heinz clearly wrote: for the dog it was quite an effort. If that's pleasure for you, not torture, that's your opinion. "Smart aleck!"

And that means he tortured the dog? because it was strenuous? Rather prolonged his life than anything else. Here it's not about high mountains but a few meters of ascent, which for some dogs is nothing if they've been on the path before, for first-timers it's something new, not torture jaoo. If the dog is old it's different, but old dog isn't for mountains so...ccc torture...

Yeah, yeah.. It's not about fear, right. We've been many places where I was a bit scared, but he wasn't etc..
I deliberately revealed my mistake - that I dragged Rexi somewhere I thought wouldn't be anything for him. But I miscalculated. Why? Because I didn't consider his size and especially that he won't let you help (you can't lift him). And if you try, a greater panic attacks him than that from the rock, or finding a passage. We've climbed various gullies where he could brace his back against me, and it worked, but in the open it's different. A human just reasons wrongly: we'll go along the cable and on pegs. Those things mean nothing to him. So, I guarantee, next time I'll think more seriously about which path is suitable for him and vice versa. Because if Rexi were either bigger or smaller, it would be much easier for him. In his case it turned out to be torture. And of course I regret the deed the most.
Despite this slip, I still stand by the position that with a dog in rocks - as little as possible!
Maybe humans are more like monkeys than their best friend.
Rexi was offended and tired.
No problem: let the lynching follow.

oakley_sf, read all posts again (especially the last one from heinz) and it'll be clear to you, if not, I can't help you.

The problem here and in general on the forum is that they immediately generalize things they have no clue about what happened back then. You immediately wrote that this is animal torture. How can you say that? Of course I'll oppose, if you happened to watch the video, you can at least somewhat assess if my dog was suffering or not? and everyone will have their own theory on that too... Then after heinz described everything you agreed with it all. Anyway the point is, you can't immediately generalize that it's animal torture if you weren't there and saw how it was.
