Hi!
What are the conditions like from Kokrško sedlo to the bivouac under Grintavec, then to Grintovec? Still snowy path?

Today already at 4:50, started from the lower station of the cargo cable car and hoped to reach Grintovec, halfway to the saddle a bit dewy, then below the top of the saddle still snow. Ate in the winter room and changed and went back to the valley, going further would be unwise: fog, wind, ...
Yeah, around 4:501
The snail is still in the valley2

Todi, you could put this under Kokrško sedlo, since we haven't seen Grintovec yet. Too bad for the bad weather, but still interesting. On the saddle, the wind really buffeted us. We didn't meet even a single hiker. Strange nasmeh A few more of my pics.

Yesterday, Saturday 31.05., at the summit. To Kokrško sedlo nice weather, then a bit below the summit it "closed in". Over the roof still in snow, yesterday also all frozen, because up there no more than 0 degrees and it was blowing nicely.
Towards the saddle basking in the sun1
At the saddle... hut opens 14.06 apparently2
View towards summit, nice weather and I decide to continue3
I headed to the summit just as someone was coming down4
At the summit... fog and cold, and it was windy5
The bench stood empty... I quickly headed back down too6
Below the summit the snowline, fog clearing... still snow over the ridge, frozen on Saturday due to wind and below 0°C7

Nice greeting,
I'm interested in what the path is like, and if winter gear is mandatory for more recreational hikers?
Regards

In clear weather it can be hard frozen in the morning. During the day, when severe thaw sets in, it becomes very slippery on steep terrain (firm below, upper layer thaws - applies to high mountains). In any case snow conditions will be worse in the future than now. Slip risk awaits us on both ascent and descent, so winter gear is essential with choice of less steep snow terrains.

Thanks and LP

Today Grintovec offered wonderful views, snow slowly melting so no major obstacle (ice axe and crampons stayed in backpack), but very hot, hut at Kokrsko sedlo still closed. Pics taken with phone because camera by strange chance left home. Best regards

No need for winter gear for the ascent to Grintovec anymore. You cross snow only once, elsewhere it can be bypassed. But an earlier start is recommended, because I feel sorry for those poor guys going up in the strongest sun.

According to the pictures, there was much less snow today. The only snowfield recommended to avoid is somewhere at the start of the roof. That shouldn't be a problem, as the whole roof is one path nasmeh
