Did it today, as 2emeREI says, the really most beautiful via ferrata we have. Difficulty exactly described by janezs73, nothing to add. Approach is just right for warming up, marked descent is flawless.
It is adorned by even difficulty and good stretch of fantastic chimney, which brings back memories of Direttissima in Špik...
With good foot placement in the chimney, straddle and out of the corner and stepping on friction.., you actually use the cable more for securing and holding than for pulling. Of course possible with climbing shoes. Otherwise pulling is needed, which is risky with this thinner cable, especially painful...
Anyway "hat off" to the equipper. Criticisms that it's not equipped in the style of Spodnji Plot don't hold water, because on difficult spots the cable is attached at short distances, and those rubber cones don't help much in a fall either...
For dessert then to B.B to Tripič on the south face.
In short: "Pure pleasure."

Recently climbed this wonderful via ferrata. Everything is fine. Wire condition too. Nothing to worry. But tiring! And forget what you experienced on other Slovenian via ferratas. This one is really something special, like Ozarjeni kamen, which is easier but prettier. This via ferrata offers the experienced ferratist the chance to really climb as much as possible, not just hang on the cable like, say, on Spodnji Plot. Hats off to the installer.

Yesterday we finally tackled this via ferrata. The lower part seemed a bit harder to me, because you mainly have to pull on the cables. In the upper technical part, arm fatigue is already noticeable, but it's technically nicer than the lower. Approach to the start is a bit different, as they are completely renovating the village where the bridge over Sava is and you have to turn off the main road one intersection earlier and through the whole village to the bridge they're rebuilding.
Even with good gloves, expect some blisters
