Kredarica

Has anyone gone to Kredarica in the last few days via Prag or from Vrata or from Zadnjica via Dolič?

Are the pitons on Triglav clear of snow/ice?

Bojan_A2. 11. 2011 08:20:17

Triglav is not clear. Full winter gear needed for ascent - two ice axes + crampons.

Given the north exposure I'd say the path via Prag is probably not 100% clear.

Thanks Bojan A for the info.
I'll rather go to Kamnik-Savinja Alps which are clear. Kamniško sedlo - Brana - Turska...

I can tell you firsthand, the north side of Brana and the passage over Kotliči and onwards is not clear. With low temps, expect slight frozen snow or snow patches. LP

Today again at Kredarica. Surprisingly quite some sun. Few visitors. One even on Triglav. Says fixed ropes are out.

My buddy and I were up there on Thursday, the north side of Mali Triglav is fully wintery, fixed ropes and pitons don't help much there, further on they're mostly exposed, that's true, I'll post a pic, judge yourselves.
p.s. We descended to Planika, less snow there but sections need caution and winter gear use (and knowledge).

Access to Kredarica and snow conditions from Krma unchanged for at least two weeks. Views divine all around, yesterday visitors lounging on deckchairs by hut. Also since no snow till ~2300m parking in Krma easy so trip 2hrs shorter.
At least two nice days forecast!?

nice nice, in all seasons.... unfortunately I don't have winter gear and knowledge of using it so we'll see in summer up there nasmeh

Today I also ran to Kredarica from Krma. Running conditions were good. Cold in Krma in the morning, then the higher up the warmer. Dry up to ca. 2300 m. Snow just right thawed so sneakers gripped well. Achieved time nothing special - 1 h 34 min. But it's not all about time, excellent views in perfect weather. nasmeh

Apparently conditions on Triglav were good too - quite a few went up.

This morning again for coffee at Kredarica - they have really good coffee. Whatever snow there is, it's quite hard. Six-point crampons came in handy.

If anyone was at Kredarica from Krma yesterday or the day before yesterday, please write whether crampons are needed, thanks for the info.
Yesterday we saw the path from Krma from Draški vrh, snow only below Kredarica summit, still curious about that snow and how much there is, thanks, lp nasmeh

spartac25. 11. 2011 10:56:25

At Kredarica from Krma, I was there Tuesday 22.11, conditions unchanged since then re temp/humidity, snow starts at approx. 2300. Quite hard and slightly icy. For descent recommend crampons, possible without with some care since there are many steps.
On Triglav too only with crampons, at least those two I saw.
LP and safe steps

p.s. weekend again great for visit nasmeh

zvončnica25. 11. 2011 11:49:13

Thanks, @spartac, for reply, really nice weekend coming, we'll take crampons just in case, let them be with us, safe steps to you too, lp nasmeh

Hello. I see you hurried with first impressions (zvončnica hiking Igor Zlodej) at Kredarica and of course those (from Kredarica, seven) who went to Triglav summit Sunday morning. Our group started Saturday from Krma to Kredarica, that was our goal. Looking at Daddy we quietly thought about ascent, but as proper, it'll wait till next time, no full gear for such feat. Better enjoyed and watched sunset which was wonderful and chatted with other hikers overnighting at Kredarica about this year's feats and followed work of (meteorologists) Janez and Rad who cared for our well-being. Early rise next day for sunrise view, wonderful and hard to describe in words. Crampons served excellently as »Pohodni« mentioned and so equipped lots of photos of surrounding peaks. Really unique, wonderful. As all good ends, had to descend to valley (Krma), few hundred meters with crampons.
