Jalovec

Domch12. 08. 2019 13:37:14

On Saturday visit to the king, who now has 2643 m elevation, at least on the stamp. Planica-Tamar-Kotovo sedlo-Jalovec-Shelter under Špička-Vršič. I always go down to Vršič, up to Kotovo sedlo nasmeh

Nice lively walk to fork of both paths on scree. Then ascent to Kotovo sedlo, sun already burning nicely. Before entering Jalovec wall sheep waiting to lick salt from me, towel and pole straps jezik

Then ascent up wall. Demanding as befits king - tons of scree, crumbly. Already after 15 min ascent clear to me I won't descend here, better choose proven best descent. Already quite some downward traffic on path. Top no cloud super view, light wind. Descent over ridge to Špička most acceptable to me. Praise to markers for very nice renovated markings/directions from Jalovec top to scree before Špička. Direction as much as possible on rock avoiding scree. On Špička earned beer, then lively walk to Vršič. At Vršič friendly three hikers pick me up to KG - thanks for ride then to Planica for car.

There are as many eroded traverse ledges as you want here.

One of the most unpleasant and adrenaline-filled sections.

Very good view, as reward for the ascent.

New markers ease the unpleasant descent from the ridge.

At the well-deserved picnic under Špička.

At 5:30 start in Planica via Dom Tamar to Kristal-Jalovec, at 10 at top no excessive visit, about fifteen of us changed in hour we spent on top. Up past bivouac over Kotovo sedlo to top, descent over Goličica and Jalovec notch back to Tamar or Planica. No peculiarities on path, aids in good condition snow no longer obstacle anywhere.

What nice weather you caught, Sunday all in fog. Bravo

trdi13. 08. 2019 13:10:33

Yesterday to Jalovec from Zadnja Trenta up over Goličica down past Špička. Ascent on Goličica wall [in the] second part actually almost vertical[, protected only by pegs]. Steps [are] excellent[, pegs where they should be], but advise against [the] path for those with drop issues and not 100% sure-footed, every wrong step or slip fatal. Deep bow to all descending this path.

After [a] long time yesterday I also went to Jalovec in summer conditions. During [the] long hike [between] Planica and Tamar[, I was] constantly annoyed by [the] thought how our great lawmakers [and] regulators ensure Jalovec [will] long [remain a] not polished diamond. Who will go for it (from Tamar) when long wide asphalted road [is] forbidden fruit. All guides [and] signs say 6h from Tamar to top. In that time my old mom would get up if [she were] alive. Another laziness blow; no schnapps poured[, served in hut only after eight]. These people really see no further than [their] own nose....
As said[, shortly after seven (buffet closed)] start equipped [with] anti-sun [and] anti-dehydration [gear in a] nice cool morning. Almost no people on path[, seen from] empty Planica parking. Had really good feeling, decide not [to take the] marked path [to] Kotovo sedlo but cut right just below glacierette. [Let me] say suffering [in] steep scree comparable only [to] Friday pines [on] Križevnik velik nasmeh

Every thing passes so this too. nasmeh

Shady climbing [pleasure] above saddle to top real pleasure again. Mention already [in the] start part two places path very risky (breakaways waiting [to] crash [into the] valley) till fixed[, stick to] winter approaches. Above quite few people as @stankoju described[, don't understand individuals who] preferred [to] freeze [in the] wind right [on] top instead [of in the] complete calm three steps lower. On descent visited unnamed neighbor crystal [that] rises 25m above trail. Deliberately [went] to bivouac[, as the] path rarely leads there (half sandwich [to] eat) mežikanje

After cold Schweppes [in] Tamar[, during the walk I] made complete plan how [it would be] if I had scissors and cloth...

Mojstrovke from the parking lot in Planica

It will be hot. In the background Visoka peč and Ciprnik, to the right Slemenova špica.

Above Kotovo sedlo. Mangart and to the right Mali koritniški Mangart 2393.

Kotova and V Koncu špica, to the right Strug.

Same view from the top of the crystal. Now also with the wreath of Ponc in the background.

Ridge of Loška stena. From green Plešivec 2184 to gray Oblice 2246.

On the horizon Škrlatica, Rogljica and Dolkova špica.

On the horizon Turn pod Razorjem, Razor, Stenar, Luknja peč and Rjavina. In front of it Planja.

Labrja peak 2326 (in the ridge of lepošpičje).

Kotovo sedlo. The bivouac is behind this boulder.

Prestreljenik, Visoki Kanin, Vrh Krnice.

Even on Mangart, more than half lower (for visitors), it is a nice visit.

Peak above Peski, Batognica, Krn and Krnčica. In front of it BG and Sravnik, above it Vel. lemež.

The sun is already higher and the mountains are already more illuminated.

Loška stena - Briceljk, Morež, Votli vrh...

There is no more snow in the gully mentioned in previous posts.

View of the crystal from Mali Jalovec 2575.

@trdi, it looks like you 'caught' me and Stanko on the sixth picture. nasmeh

Thanks, @panda. Pictures are unfortunately [of] more average quality, especially if the mountain isn't sufficiently sunlit.

Tomorrow I would very much like to set off for Jalovec with my wife. We chose the easiest variant with starting point at Vršič, from where we would start around 14:00 towards Zavetišče pod Špičkom, where we would overnight and the next day ascend to the summit, and return to the car. That's our plan, but we're afraid of tomorrow's weather. We browsed all websites with weather forecasts, which are very different, although those prevailing show nice weather tomorrow afternoon with one drop (next to the sun) around 18:00 in the evening.

Does anyone know the weather so well that they could advise us whether we should go on the mentioned tour or if it would be wiser to postpone it? We will be very grateful for a reply.

mirank26. 08. 2019 14:03:51

Given the stormy weather activity and high temperatures, the possibility of thunderstorms in the mountain world is not excluded. Precisely because of that, tours are usually started early and by the afternoon when they usually start to form thunderstorms you're already safe. Otherwise I hope you didn't look at weather forecast on hribi.net zavijanje z očmi

which has nothing to do with weather. On ilmeteo tarvisio no precipitation is shown.... mežikanje

maks5726. 08. 2019 14:22:46

Thanks for the reply. I hope someone else will chime in. I definitely agree with your thinking on when "tours are done", but Jalovec is so specific that I decided to do it in two days.

panoramik26. 08. 2019 14:34:46

Why walk from Vršič, better from Trenta, those few hundred ascent meters are nothing compared to returning to Vršič. And that path is mostly in shade.

ana26. 08. 2019 14:44:02

I quite agree, similar is my decision for the next Jalovec visit. To Vršič it drags like chicken guts and even uphill, kills morale

djimuzl26. 08. 2019 15:07:32

Norwegians are also quite reliable; they show no thunderstorms on Tuesday or Wednesday... https://www.yr.no/place/Slovenia/Other/Jalovec/hour_by_hour.html
For Italian Meteo I prefer forecast for Višarje or V Žlebeh (Monte Lussari, Sella Nevea).
Our Aladin shows precipitation near those areas from 14 to 17 tomorrow, Wednesday morning clear, then increasing cloudiness over the day, but no rain.

Regarding the starting point we can still reconsider of course. But I kindly ask for an answer about tomorrow's weather. Should we head out on the tour tomorrow or not?

garmont26. 08. 2019 15:09:53

Maks, you've set up the tour fine.
Path from Vršič to Špička is easy and, if rain catches you, you can walk calmly with umbrella or raincoat. Wet clothes you'll dry overnight in the hut.
Start the ascent to Jalovec the next day as early as possible, it'll be ok.
Regards

keti126. 08. 2019 15:12:35

According to Aladin tomorrow around 15.00 thunderstorm possible in this area.

djimuzl26. 08. 2019 15:28:17

Maks, for yesterday the Saturday forecast for mountains was bad - but no rain anywhere, in Primorske and western Julijci even lots of sun. All previously mentioned forecasts messed up on that...
You'll have to decide yourself.
According to the current forecast, the safest is to be at the hut around noon, afternoon depending on conditions explore surroundings a bit e.g. climb to Škrbina behind Grad (marked), maybe from there to Mali Ozebnik (unmarked, harder). Next day early start to summit for nicer view.

maks5726. 08. 2019 16:15:04

Thanks everyone sincerely for replies and advice!

Wife gathered courage and called the meteorological station at Kredarica, where they advised against tomorrow's tour and suggested doing it on Wednesday and Thursday. That's what we'll do and start towards Špička on Wednesday instead of tomorrow.

dprapr26. 08. 2019 16:39:55

And so you'll "waste" the best day of the week for the approach to Špička? On Thursday afternoon, thunderstorms are really forecast.
