Jesih-Potočnik IV/III 500m Debela peč

Today with Greg in a Slovenian classic, great route, with relatively good rock and spicy chimney in the middle nasmeh

. To the chimney we went with friends and in Gojzars nasmeh

. In the chimney we changed shoes, from the chimney onwards roped up and again in Gojzars. For the route we needed a good two hours, to the start a good half hour (nice if you know the shortcuts nasmeh

). Descended via the hunter's path back to Kovinarska. There obligatory beer. Great day, just a bit hot velik nasmeh

. Oh, Pipi enjoyed too!

Juš, Greg and Pipi

Can you describe this hunting path a bit better? Start, difficulty, required time. Thanks.

Hi! The hunting path starts behind the Kovinarska hut in the clearing, mostly ascends in switchbacks through the forest. When you come out of the forest into the first gully, cross it (cairn), continue towards the entries into the alpine route in Debela peč. Soon you reach the wall where there is a memorial plaque to the alpinists. From there the "path" continues right along the wall (cairn). When you reach the completely collapsed gully, cross it and continue the path to the gully where the path disappears. Climb up the collapsed gully and scree to the overhanging jump. There turn right again, as the path bypasses the jump and brings you to the easier gully. Well, descend into that gully and start ascending, although the gully is interrupted by three jumps (II degree), it is nicely climbable. When you are over the third jump, a "scree field" opens up, interrupted by slabs and rocks. When you are there you already see the exit that brings you to the ridge, from there you have another 10 min ascent to the top. Loose, collapsed, scree... Up is easier than descent. We descended approx. 1 hour. The path is well traceable in the lower part, higher up it gets lost a bit in the gully, but as the rule goes, seek the easiest passages. Be careful not to get pulled left into the wall! nasmeh

Matej: you'd just stick your nose to Pipi, eh? mežikanje

Here the path turns right at the overhang (drip)

The path is almost continuously well traceable

Nice route, quite concrete climbing, especially in the chimney and the upper 2 pitches, route much better equipped than Mihelič mentions in the guidebook .... great day on Saturday, no one in the rock except us 3, descent over Blejska hut to Medvedova konta ...
