Maybe it helps someone. Picture of Jalovec with surroundings, taken on Wednesday, so just before the cooling.

Hi, today we were up there and there is really very very little snow, only in some shady areas. Ice axe useful there, crampons no need to use. It was really very cold and strong wind blowing. Otherwise excellent day with beautiful view smile

Planica - Tamar - Jalovec Couloir - Jezerca - Jalovec and back. Snow starts below couloir entry, new only few cm, and that melts fast. Ice axe and crampons essential. Wow how nice it was.

Super tele pics. nasmeh

Especially the first one is fantastic!

JusAvgustin9. 11. 2011 17:57:44

Jalov`c is anyway... always will be Jalov`c. Bravo! Super ascent. While others look for dry routes, some already "stamping" mežikanje

But Jalovec in such conditions is real magic!

congratulations.. I was up in September and it was unique and I hope I manage too in some years to step in winter on "king of tamar".. nasmeh

Lothar9. 11. 2011 21:19:03

I see you really enjoyed... how not to. mežikanje

Super tour... tempts me to go too. velik nasmeh

janez.novak9. 11. 2011 21:59:52

I'd ask if there's snow to Kotovo sedlo or winter gear needed. Is the path that at 1500m turns right past bivouac to saddle dry?
Thanks for reply.

Nature that takes your breath away. What I missed in the past that it took so long and missed nice days but time will come when I can enjoy beauties in our beautiful Slovenia.

@mountain lover, I myself started going into the mountains only about four years ago and I often ask myself the same question as you, why not earlier.
These pictures from Jalovec are really as @MajaO wrote - omg, they are truly wonderful.
Our mountains in Slovenia are really beautiful, they literally enchanted me and I can't help thinking about them every single day, multiple times a day.
That whiteness, footprints in it, takes your breath away, you wish you were there.

Way too awesome pictures. Really, crazy velik nasmeh

. Bravo for super ascent. Me, at least I hope, this awaits next year eek

. And it'll probably be the toughest challenge so far. Yeah @zvončica, everything you wrote is true. I've become totally obsessed with these mountains now eek

. Ah, d.... it, if it's really so beautiful in our mountains. If there's just chance and health, we'll keep hiking mežikanje

@gorski potepuh, all congratulations. Insanely good pics. Now you can see that someone else besides the "expert" can make an enviable post. We wish you many more such posts. nasmeh

Well, those pics from "potepuh" really tempted me and I had to go to our "stone arrow" too. velik nasmeh

Snow in the couloir is frozen and walking on it is super. Now you can walk in the footsteps made by "potepuh" like on stairs. jezik

Just watch out for falling rocks from the top, since the ridge is almost bare. Smaller bits of icy snow and rocks were falling down all the time. And there was even a bigger rock that missed me by no more than a couple meters (good I stopped when I saw it rushing at me eek

). On the way back everything was calm... not even a pebble fell down. zavijanje z očmi

Above the couloir conditions were fantastic. Snow isn't overly frozen, nor too soft. The only annoying thing is that the path to the top isn't fully snow-covered, which makes crampon walking difficult (which are otherwise mandatory).

It was like a fairy tale.. so fairy-tale that I caught the sunset just before entering the couloir (Tamar was always prettiest to me at night... especially with full moon shining. velik nasmeh

)
