Everest

geolog79 : I know it's hard. That's why I don't want to force anyone to go to the mountains with me. Regarding walking with ice axe and crampons I still need to practice. I've decided to go to Snežnik and just before the summit where that beautiful clearing is or I don't know what to call it, I'll learn at least a bit to walk in crampons and arrest with ice axe nasmeh

maybe not the best location and I'll be a target of ridicule but every beginning is hard.

gregcs1 : Of gear I have nothing yet. But in the coming days I plan to buy crampons, since I already have one ice axe but it's not for whatever icy tours. I also hope to go look for a harness in the next days.

The unattainable mountain is K2, but Everest is definitely tough too nasmeh

Everest is just my dream mountain velik nasmeh

maybe the route will suit me sometime. zadrega

Otherwise everything is still up in the air because of school mrk pogled

if all is ok with school I'll go this year (I hope) to the SP course and at the end of the year also the Alpine course. About the youth section I'm not so sure. I'll think some more.

this is really the most basic equipment... better quality and more reliable equipment multiplies the 1500 by two. no one is discouraging you from the mountains, but you can't run before you can walk... mountaineering/hiking in mountains/alpinism is a cheap sport. confused

On sale you get footwear and clothing.
I already considered the prices of shoes and clothes when I made the above list of equipment, I assumed you buy on sales.
Otherwise a technical summer boot is around 200 eur, for winter from 300 eur +.

Ice axes, crampons, helmets,... are not on sale winking

Start with summer equipment and summer hikes. You won't need ice axes for at least 2 years.

You're in too much of a hurry. Take a look at Humar's life, when he attended alpine school, when he got the alpinist title and when alpine instructor winking

.

You have more than enough time, so get back to reality.

Tell what your experiences in mountains and hills are, where you've been,...
What if you're already scared on a slightly more demanding path?

Tell a bit where you've been.

Of course. I didn't say that I dream of I don't know what and I don't know what kind of dream ascents. My motto is that you get there slowly, bit by bit. So I'm not rushing.. Of course I still need to gather mileage and yes I'll start with summer ascents. Most often I've been to Šmarna gora, because with the club (Radenska kd) we ran up every weekend. Otherwise I've been to Kofce or Veliki Vrh above Kofce, so far my only 2000m.. winking

I've also been to Snežnik several times and also to some other hills, which unfortunately I don't remember the names now. I know it's very little mileage but the mountains have only recently started to interest me at all so now I've decided to start going to the mountains regularly. angry
