Tomorrow it will be three years since one of the most unusual crossings from Jezerska valley to Možnica happened, which of course didn't succeed, but ended relatively happily. Of course it's the Belgians. Two years ago I checked it out and described it here: http://www.pzs.si/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4375. Early afternoon I drive to the prode, where the starting point for Jerebica and other mountains above Jezerska valley is. There's not as much snow as three years ago, but still I go on skis, later I have to take them off for several meters a few times. I walk the common path for a while, then turn right, where path 654 also goes, but soon leave it and head directly up the valley, first nicely up some gully, then have to search for the best snowed passages, cross some soft avalanche debris in between and reach the Škraplje area. No better name for this "world" of course, since the area is one big scree. Despite all I find good snow passages, of course have to watch the screes that can end over 10 meters deep. So with two easy drops and over steep "gully" which I cross without skis I reach the top of Great Snowy Peak. View more than excellent on almost all Western Julian Alps, nearby Jerebica and Rombon on the other side of Možnica, then Ribežni, Črnelske špice and in distance Kanin range all to Žrde. On top I sit a bit, before skiing need to rest, then ski down on just right powdery snow to Škraplja and along ascent route to Jezerska valley. Can't recommend the tour itself due to terrain difficulty. But it's despite all an excellent tour that gives more than we think, especially solitary, which I like very much.

I went on the tour with mixed feelings. Simply couldn't find data for preparation. The report above and redrawn path from one of the maps which I generally take with a big reserve (in this case paths on maps, no mistake).
Everything written above still holds. Cracks, pits, scree, ditches, rubble, steep walls. Above bivouac and further on now red dots also guide besides the path but end at the crack with pegs. Further cairns. Mostly enough of them but sometimes one missing. If you keep the right direction, which of course I didn't always, then it somehow goes. But tiring. Huge ups and downs and turns left and right. Partly because of the dog. Due to terrain nature must watch every step.
Above I didn't choose the grassy cone but went right and followed cairns. Unfortunately they led to a steep wall which would probably be too much even for me, absolute for the dog. Found passage higher where it went with some whining, better variant on return.
Now at the top also a box with papers and small logbook. Enough space for entry.
Return much easier no more orientation problems.
The tour itself tiring, one of my most tiring. But no regret. From bivouac on somewhere midway that Nicole di Bari started echoing in my head ...Mi trascina su per la montagna sempre su
Ho i piedi stanchi ma ora non li sento più...
