Kaptan-Brana-Turska gora

With Andrej, who is an excellent expert on pathless routes and hunting trails in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, yesterday we did a long and in places quite demanding tour. We started in Konc, ascended pathlessly, crossed steep slopes and scrambled the ridge to Kapitan (2012m) then descended to the saddle and climbed the partially secured path to Brana. Fog accompanied us, which didn't hinder the ascent, we were only deprived of the views, which are wonderful from here in clear weather. On Brana there was a short stop with refreshment. We continued along the steep S wall of Brana to the saddle above Kotliči, descended a bit and ascended again along the beautiful secured path to Turska gora and from there over Žmavčarje to the start. Beautiful, solitary path, no one anywhere, only on Brana we met two young guys and chamois, some ibex and even a tiny mouse hiding in the scree. Three 2000ers at once nasmeh

According to Grintavci map Kaptan is 1943 high, not 2012.

Kaptan Brane-Turska-Rinke (26.12.18)

Still in the dark I did the first two jumps. Before the real scree starts it's quite slippery, a bit icy. No winter gear needed to Kaptan, from there real winter conditions. North normal route nicely iced, but snow amount not large yet. Path mostly on marked route (forget that chimney most don't use even dry). Path to Turska hardly used in winter, maybe someone tracks it. Not much snow, but wintery. To Kr.Rinka via SW gully, first jump bypassed right. Then Koroška Rinka visit and to valley via Žmavčarje. Path icy up to 1300m.
Happy holidays
