Grintovec

j.18. 05. 2016 20:40:46
Today until about noon there were four of us on the summit. Morning sun, around 12 crazy fog.
Serious snow (about 10-15 cm new on old base) starts at around 2,200 m, sinks approximately to the ankles (depending on where), on one traverse I put on crampons which I kept to the top and back to cca 2,200 m. A bit unnecessary, but it went easier.

On Grintovec's roof on 18.5.2016 in thick impenetrable fog a black woolen glove got lost, which is now safe at 041 582 608.

I was there yesterday, to the saddle had to cross one snow patch (from Kamniška Bistrica direction), proper snow starts a bit before that traverse that brings you to the Roof. But snow was already very south-facing, so crampons stayed in backpack, went just with ice axe.

Hi, was anyone by chance today on Grintavec?
Since I know snow melts very fast I'd ask for as fresh as possible info how it is up there with snow?

Thanks a lot

Grintavec is not in KSA, unless you replace A with O

Early this morning those few snow tongues were frozen, which can also be fatal. Rocks were also covered with frozen slush that was quite slippery. In the afternoon I believe the snow softens and there are no problems. So I recommend hiking crampons for those few meters to the top so it'll be really safe. Adding some photos of most visited passages in this part of Kamnik Alps if useful to anyone. L.P.

today, 7.6.2016 from Kam. Bistrica to Grintovec. for start of week quite a few hikers. went in sneakers as far as possible on snow-free ground. Generally western part of roof is barer. snow patches start approx at 2200m. before that NONE. Conclusion: if you don't stick to marked path like drunk to fence, you won't tread snow.
photos taken on return when sliding on most snowy parts. not so bad.

Yesterday I listened to our noble forecasters and took the day off:velik nasmeh Except one like-minded person, Grinta was deserted. No snow on path as Niko mentioned but nice to slide on his track.

Does anyone know if Cojzova hut is open since last Saturday because all the listed phone numbers are still unreachable?

Thanks. Yes, I've checked all that. Just a problem with reservation as no one responds on phone, email, FB for 2 days.

Reservation definitely not needed (unless coming with three buses up). Just in rooms there are 105 beds, then also communal bunks, winter room... To peak of hiking season still far.

So many cars along Bistrica from Dom to Jermanca and parking under cableway to Kokrsko sedlo long not seen, so obviously many of us impatiently awaited nice weather... velik nasmeh
