Marijan already briefly described it, I'm just adding a couple pics.

No living soul can be seen on the snowy whiteness.

For now still blue skies. Clearly visible approach to the ridge.

People are gathering below, mists above.

Part of the crystal. Who knows how high this point is and if it perhaps even has a name?

We used the fantastic Sunday weather to visit our beautiful crystal.
Fresh snow was just a handful of centimeters smile

This year there's little snow down below, no cornice at all. Through Štenge there's a nice passage secured with a chain. I continue on the marked path, soon leaving it and traversing left to the first snowfields. I quickly realize usual passages won't go, so left over a small rock step with chain assistance. Higher, extensive snowfields. Snow nicely frozen, walking pure pleasure. At Dolge prode junction, upper gully and summit rocks visible. Hoping it's doable, continue.
Barely two meters over rocks, then in sun above Jezerci. Descenders from top: Jovan and group. Short chat.

Stick to summer path with good tracks (thanks), ridge mostly dry, summit snow of course. Watch paraglider flying, another on descent.

Descent through "gully" fully sunlit, then behind Turn under Čez Brežice saddle, on marked path to valley.

Igor's variant appeals to me big grin

. Description is good, two questions follow. Interested in difficulty and timing, if it's longer than the approach from Tamar through the couloir cool

THANKS

Jalovec is Jalovec, it should never be underestimated, especially in snowy conditions. Ascent and descent on the slope above Loški couloir is currently, due to too little snow and wetness, very demanding. Also the ridge with some icy traverses. Through the sufficiently hard Ozebnik, as always, 'projectiles' of rocks and ice stalactites still fly from above. Due to bad conditions for quite a few days, like Montaž last time, I advise against ascent to Jalovec. About the reasons why, in comments on the link below.

'BT88': Definitely more demanding ascent to Jalovec through Loški couloir, technically and, depending on who, perhaps also time-wise. Depends on how you tackle it, depending on conditions and numerous possible passages. Check my album Loški couloir, 05. 05. 2014.

This couloir will wait for me next year.
Congrats to all - super ascent

good luck

I'd go to the hut under Špica, but I'm curious about the conditions on the path.....especially regarding snow.

thanks

After a long time back in the mountains. Today heading to the king of Slovenian mountains Jalovec. Quite a few hikers among them also some known from the hribi forum. Snow still on the path at Jalovška škrbina so crampons, ice axe and helmet needed as stones are falling from the saddle.
Start Planica, Tamar, over Jalovška škrbina and back via scree over Kotovo sedlo. A quite good day with nice views and not too hot for such a tour smile

back across Kotovo sedlo there is still snow in the gully which must be crossed with crampons

@vukovivek: on picture no. 9 it's, if not a mistaken description, Goličica from Ozebnik summit. Jalovška škrbina is behind under Goličica. Shame you didn't attach a pic from the short ferrata on the ascent to the notch. From it there are plenty of nice views around, also from the top, right on Goličica and left on Šit ridge.

nice, we met

It was a beautiful Sunday, so I used it for a visit to Jalovec. The path led me further to Mangart and in a loop along the road to the morning starting point.
