Weather in the hills brilliant, days still long, so I decide on a pathless wreath of mountains in the queen's kingdom.
In the morning van there is no drena, but it was in the parking lot in Vrata, at least every third car was lit, around them frantic preparations of mountaineers for the trail. I hoped that at least some light would turn right towards Šlajmer, but nothing of that, and this year already my third time on this route. Full moon, but in the forest it gives too little light, so for a good half hour I use the headlamp. Štirka still closed, even from Kuclj (2372), where I treat myself to the first longer break, I don't spot anything 'alive'. There I equip myself for the hills, descend to the scree and up the other side to the first rocks of Rakova špica. A bit vertical, then faaar right along almost continuous scree, where I find the first suitable spot to turn towards the ridge. Rocks crumbly, holds small, so I took quite some time before reaching the summit. Back almost the same route, I got a bit closer to Škrlatica than on the ascent, as the cairns lured me. Probably an alpinist takes care of them, who brought a book up there and has signed several times, since '21 four pages are filled. I descend to the lowest point where there is still snow, wash, quench thirst and refill the bottle with it. Along steep scree I reach the path to Rdeča škrbina, in a five-minute climb without rucksack I'm already on Rogljica, where in half an hour on a nice rock I dry all my clothes.nasmeh. Slowly down, put on rucksack and walk to Dolkova špica, where a friendly lady joins me. We chat a bit, she back, I along the ridge towards Spodnja Dolkova špica. Again I measured height several times with Locus Map app, which with 2538 meters came quite close to the number on the maps.
The last part of the descent, where with full force my flaw with orientation and memory struck againjezen, which confirms the fact that instead of by bus at five, I left the parking lot with the van at seven.....mrk pogled

Congratulations and also one "begging": From memory I know that I stood at least 3x below Rogljica...of course I read all possible records and descriptions beforehand and oh and in general...I don't remember the name from here up, he even sent me private pictures with the path drawn in and description...but when I stood below, no, no way, I don't know it, I don't see it...I was literally scared - I'd rather not go. So the point is, I need a guide!!! Next year I'm begging you and hope you'll take the time!!!zavijanje z očmi

Once you find the right place to start the ascent to Rogljica, everything to the top is quite natural. If not, then everything is repulsive.

Here you go through the chimney system from the left side of the peak. Not harder than II, it's also easy to climb down (of course for someone who is used to such terrain).

Nice, Tone.
If you went along the ridge, which is clearly visible in picture 29, you would need at most half an hour to Rogljica.

Drago, I also went along that ridge, it's a piece of cake. And from there straight down the scree to the snow (it's still dusty now). The problem is the rollers along the ridge and the descent to the ridge, practically no quality holds. Between photos 28 and 29 it's 1h28min.
Thanks, Maks! As I was just replying to Drago, there's no more bread for me on this hill. As you can see, the descent is absolutely too long time-wise, at every step cleaning sand, testing the firmness of every hold...but that's how it is if a person wants to go somewhere again.nasmeh Drago is of course an alpinist and still agile as a cat, so he can look at the whole thing a bit differently. Unfortunately, Maks, I started making red dots, which will remain forever on this mountain and on the descent from Spodnja Dolkova špica.
As you say, Hamo. And this micro location is really so small that you don't need to do any studies at all. Of course you mustn't go straight into the rock, first you take four steps on the flat.
Filip, for you I know you're capable of climbing up from the south side, from the scree, like I did the first time twenty-one years ago.

lijaneja, all praise for your long, pathless tours! I always study them well.
But tell us something, have your knees recovered? No more whining nasmehnasmeh

What would I complain about if nothing helps.nasmeh As you know, during covid I badly injured my knee. The solution was movement, movement, movement..., to strengthen ligaments, tendons, muscles around the knee due to cartilage loss. For the fifth year from Šimnovec I ride down with the cable car, up I hike with poles, in sneakers, with a light backpack. I strengthened the knee to the point that with unchanged body weight and light load there are no bigger problems, they appear on longer descents with heavy backpack load. There I can also be up to 50% slower than on ascent. After such a tour I give the knee (nom) at least two days rest, even if the weather is so nice.
