Jalovec

Print
jax13. 05. 2019 20:11:31
Of course snow stays, I wasn't talking about that. Jalovec is a classic late season tour and July 2nd is almost always too early. But I don't fully agree that the worst is on the route from Špička. Jalovška škrbina has an even more problematic spot below the entry into the wall. Maybe from that point of view the least problematic is the route over Kotovo sedlo, where there are also some steep gullies where snow stays. In short, wait till mid-August, then it'll be ;-)

Barbarela, hello! Normally I don't "post" on the forum, but something encouraged me to do so. About Jalovec and the route, ascent to it, others have more or less written everything, so I have nothing special to add. The reason is that I myself was last year in a very similar, almost identical situation. In my SPP booklet, I was missing three stamps, Prisojnik, Razor and Jalovec. Somehow I kept postponing them. There was also quite some awe, especially for Jalovec. For similar reasons. Let me add that in recent years I go alone on more demanding routes, prepare in various ways and go. Last year, I started with Prisojnik via the ridge route. It went well. Next Jalovec. Although I had respect, it went very well for me. It helped a lot that a few days before the hut warden under Špička had newly marked the entire route. I can say that without it I would've had quite some trouble finding the "route"! Of course, the path is airy in places, concentration must be complete. No other serious problems though. The views though....! By the way - the hut wardens at the hut, Klavdija and Vasja, are fantastic! They can be an example to all. As others have said, with what you've already... there are no serious problems. Nice weather, concentration, calm, that's it. What is easier or harder for someone is of course different opinions. Also a matter of current mood. For comparison, next was Razor from Kriški podi. That new secured part at the end - it's short, slightly overhanging in one part. Maybe for those who have trouble stretching a bit more at a few spots it's somewhat more demanding on descent. But I (at my age) had no problems.
I also suggest you head to the summit from the hut in the morning, fresh. I wish you lots of mountaineering pleasures! And safe path! Ivan

Thanks Ivan!
I'm very grateful for your encouraging words. Very grateful!

I'd like to thank once again all who understood my writing and responded to it. Mountain lovers are (you are) apparently really something special! Always understanding and always ready to help. Thanks!

In August this year I hope to make a historic step for me. I'll step on the summit of our King!

Ascent from all sides to it is very demanding, but descent is even more demanding, especially down from the ridge, where it's also airymežikanje there's so much scree on the ground that you just see how you'll slide into the gully between Jalovec and Veliki Ozebník. This is definitely the most demanding spot on the whole route from this side. In short up is hard back even harder - which befits the king.

Good that it's not "science fiction" like that descent over Korošica.nasmeh
And you just reassured her and she's already decided for the ascent.
Barbarela, stick to the last decision. You won't regret it.

Domch you've exaggerated this. Best that the lady in August herself tells how the path is.

Hello!
Let me share my opinion and also one question. Eight years ago (I was 15) I first summited Jalovec, up over Kotovo sedlo, we descended towards Špička. The ascent remained in my memory as quite hard, mainly because of crumbly rock, on descent no problems, what stuck most in memory is precisely this ridge, which is really quite narrow, but no major problems. So boldly and with a certain measure of respect. And since eight years have passed since my last ascent of Jalovec, I also plan this summer to conquer the king of Slovenian mountains. I'm most drawn over Jalovški ozebnik, but I don't know if the path is even open (I've got very different information). And if it's open, with which other Slovenian path in Slovenia could it be compared? Thanks in advance for answers and best regards! nasmeh

Me (only) once more. In principle down is always more tricky than up. For various reasons. As redbull wrote.

Winter conditions still prevail in the couloir (16.6.2019). More on conditions in the blog and descent video. For those interested...

Hello, does anyone know the conditions on the Mangart - Jalovec path?

Any information on the trail condition from zadnja Trenta/Vršič past Špička?

From the Kotovo sedlo direction there's still a snowfield ca. 4 m in the "wall". Footprints have been made, but it's still good to have an ice axe, as a slip is "game over".

In the gully below the Jalovec notch between scree and wall there is still a lot of snow. Crossing the steep snowfield without ice axe and crampons, or rope, is pure lottery.

It was the same today, 23.7.

I meant the glacier located on the path between Jalovška škrbina and Tamar (green on the picture).
The upper two pictures look more similar to the snowfield on the path from Kotovo sedlo towards Jalovec summit, which with caution is not so problematic.

For Jalovec glacier everyone should already know it's snow-covered, if someone thinks otherwise let them stick to PlayStation. I thought you meant the snowfield before entering the wall of the secured path Jalovška škrbina. In Jusch's picture there's nothing trivial, ice axe is useful.

Redbull, in the mountains there are many hikers who actually aren't sufficiently informed about dangers, conditions and ethics of behavior in mountains.
And there will be more and more, so we need to warn about the aforementioned all the time.

Yes, all along I meant the snowfield below the entry into the wall of the secured path to Jalovška škrbina. I just wanted to point out current conditions, which this forum is probably for. Not everyone is in mountains every day and info may be preventively useful to someone. Won't boast about my experiences and mountain knowledge unlike some duty experts here, as it's not quiz "Who knows more?" Intent wasn't to spark nervous debate who should know what, but just alert to facts, so sorry to offended know-it-alls and end my session. P.S. Where it doesn't itch, don't scratch.
