A year has turned since I first encountered the wall, chains and pegs on the way to Bovški Gamsovec. So the decision fell to go there again this time. We used vacation time and nice weather and went on a two-day trip around Kriški Podi. Our path starts in Vrata valley over Sovatna to Stenar, then continue to Križ and from there descend over Bovške Vratice to Pogačnikov dom on Kriški Podi. Next day to Bovški Gamsovec, descent to Luknja and then back to Vrata valley. Path over Sovatna without issues. The path to Stenar also went fine, just slippery in places, so more caution needed there. But we enjoyed the views and soon at the top. A bit different is the path to Križ. We descend below Stenarska Vratca and continue on quite slippery path towards Križ. Here we'd need a broom to sweep all the "scree" from rocks and at least see where the path goes . I console myself that at the end there's a chain for the last exposed climb. But the lower peg is torn off , so chain doesn't help much. Hands, knees and it went. Satisfaction at Križ top rewarded by wonderful views. Descent over Bovške Vratice, where path is very well secured. At Pogačnikov dom everything is really super . Next day to Bovški Gamsovec, no issues on path. Descent to Luknja and from there with chain to scree and down to valley. Really glad they installed chain there, much easier . Just a bit to Aljažev dom in Vrata and our wonderful trip ended.
Since lots of photos this time, attaching link to my album.

@urbancek, you'd probably find descriptions for all peaks, but what can you do when it's so hard to combine all the nice things under one peak, especially if you've visited them in one day... you've done a unique tour and super pics...

Everyone has their own pace. What counts are impressions and all nice moments from the tour and safe conclusion of it. Regards!

PV, thanks, it will surely be useful to someone else too... After all the topics could be merged (if possible and there's interest...). Best!
