Akle and Starec

Um...no, I think the one in the picture is on some forepeak, I photographed it myself too, the real one is more hidden behind some bush nasmeh

Someone commented under the post and even attached a picture to it, but I don't remember where anymore...probably on FB.

Polona, if you recorded GPS track check where you reached the highest point. That's probably the summit of Akel.

(BTW, how do you decline Akle? velik nasmeh

I assume it's a plural noun: Akle/Akel/Aklam/Akel/Aklah/Aklami)

Mystery of the passage to Srednji vrh solved velik nasmeh

Otherwise I chose the other route on advice, the one I planned last time... This one is really technically fairly easy, probably nowhere reaches grade II. Biggest challenge though is orientation in the scrub zadrega

That one from last time...probably will come up again sometime. When looking from the top back then probably not much was missing anymore. Or was it...surprises are always possible in such terrain velik nasmeh

Ugh, long and demanding. Less than two weeks ago there was still plenty of snow among the scrub on the north side of Srednji vrh.

Middle peak from Mali Grintavec 1813 m, 28.4. this year.

Apparently the warm weather over May Day holidays cleared it quickly. Now just those few patches left nasmeh

Park before entry into mini valley then steeply up. For Akle (two slightly harder spots) and Starec (narrow ridge before summit and awkward descent over fallen trees) everything's already written. Followed nice passage up and left, where easiest entry to gully requires a bit of searching. At decision point I erred and chose right vegetated gully (correct one is left or middle, far left is tiny). Noticed error too late, consequences quite serious as I climbed two and a half hours in impassable world of extremely steep scrub. Though body long signaled way over limit, mind held. Mind switch, some airy rock II's I don't notice anymore, short gap suddenly in right direction. Just out, out of captivity... To Javorov vrh regenerate destroyed quads, then good mental planning into precise steep descent this valley side to starting morning point. Nice loop, and solitary spots.
