Hi, wondering if the self-belay kit is really needed on the direct path from Zadnja Trenta to B. Grintavec?

Bovški Gamsovec is not Bavarian Grintavec! 
Otherwise, no gear is harmful, if we know how to use it correctly, of course.

For Bovški Gamsovec, maybe you need self-belay from Kriški Podi direction, a bit below the summit one cable. Nothing special, but do have a helmet. From the notch the path is mostly grassy slopes.

Sorry, checked the map, you're right. Haven't been there yet.

Best regards, hobbit. Self-belay kit usable only at a few spots as very few cables, so decide based on own experience. If ascent via Kanja pass, highly recommend self-belay kit. Helmet use mandatory for me in both cases.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Buddy and I decided Bavarian Grintavec waits a bit. Need to buy helmet as don't have yet.
Going to Rombon tomorrow =)
best regards

On Saturday, my colleague and I went to Bavški Grintavec from Zadnja Trenta via Planina Zapotok and then directly to the summit. We descended via Kanja saddle back to the valley. We spent a great day in even better weather and climbs, as the approach and descent offer quite some adrenaline for those who want to try climbing. Be careful of rockfall and sections that are not secured with pegs and cables.

Yesterday my husband and I were in beautiful sunny weather on Bavški Grintavec. Started from Soča at 6.00 (with headlamp) and were just before 11.00 at the top. The path is not difficult, but very long, steep and strenuous. So we got water for descent at hunting hut Soča and at one more place. We calculated 3 liters per person up and down, but didn't use it all (surely different in summer). On return we met only two hikers who planned to the top - hope they managed to return before dark, as they were quite late. At Andrejc inn we were at 15.30, with us we brought some dežnikarice from Lemovje pasture. For this path good condition is needed, as you do 1800 m ascent and descent at once, in one day. Markings are faded, quite helpful (in rocky part) are the cairns, so no problem with direction.

On Bavški Grintavec it was wonderful today at 11 o'clock. A bit windy, covered with snow, especially clear and views far around. Path from Soča to start of scree is completely dry. From start of scree to top, the trail is mostly under a few cm snow blanket. So caution needed, especially through the gully. Had to probe with foot many times to get secure step, as couldn't see what's under snow. Snow not frozen, so no crampons needed. When returning, it was so warm that I had to put on short sleeves and enjoy an hour of sun on Planina Nad Soča. Good luck!

Dear mountaineers. Surely some of you have already climbed Bavarian Grintavec from the direction of Planina nad Sočo via peaks Kol, Mali and Veliki Muzec. I am interested whether it is possible in dry conditions to encounter any major difficulties on this ascent.

As far as I know, the Muzci are west of Kobariški Stol, Planina nad Sočo exists as a starting point to Bavarian Grintavec. In dry conditions you encounter lack of water, because there are no springs, the path climbs quite high.

Can the stamp even be normally stamped if you say it's damaged and even torn from the rock?
Please, can someone answer me this? Or maybe add a picture of a stamped stamp.
Triglavski, can you organize or speed up the replacement of the stamp?

From Planina nad Sočo leads a marked path along Predolina towards B.G. To the east is Kol (1924 m), further a kind of ridge from Mali to Veliki Muzec, which is located SE past the top of B.G. Details regarding passability or climbing difficulty I do not know.
As for the stamp, it is the competence of the PD that maintains the path from the Zapoden direction. Ours is from the village Soča and Bavšice over the top Brda. Of course nobody has stamps on stock and each must be ordered separately, and they are not cheap either. As much as I saw on the picture above, the stamp is still usable and those who climb to the top in these winter conditions will get the stamp too, if they find it.

On this ridge my wife and I have already been. We climbed to it from the marked path to B.G. right through grass to Kol. We continued along the ridge over Mali and Veliki Muzec to the top of Škodela and left to Bavarian Grintavec. Descent of course via marked path to Soča.
On the ridge nothing worse than good UIAA I, just need nose for passages and bypass some crumbly corners. Otherwise can be much harder. Us accompanied light drizzle all the time. So possible also in wet, but smartly.
This interesting approach to B.G. will come also in picture and (longer) word in Gorniških potepanjih, but unfortunately can't do everything at once ...
Promise by end of next winter, when snow melts, before that better leave ridge alone anyway. Day is now very short for such feats.
One more: who has walked all marked paths to Bavarian Grintavec and wants something more demanding, can choose this approach, which is significantly more difficult than southern ridge (Kol - Muzci - Škodela):

On Saturday in really nice weather, our aim was to reach from hut at source of Soča to the top of BG, but path ended at saddle where direct path and path over Kanski preval meet somewhere at 2150m. Path was dry to ca 1600m, further first only snow patches, later snow amount increased considerably. For last ascent on avalanche chute to saddle big caution needed with all winter gear. Further in wall even huge snow and so safer to end path and return to valley. Even though didn't see top the trip was nice and after six hours pleasantly tired returned.

On 25.6 we set off to Bavški Grintovec from the hut at the source of Soča through Zadnjo Trenta to Kanski preval and via the climbing section to the top. The path is dry, except on the climbing part where the path runs through the streambed (15m); the cable is still under snow. Further to the top, dry. For the descent we went via the so-called direct path, where there is still plenty of snow on the scree under Grintavec, but no problems because it is no longer precipitous.
nice regards, david
