Hello!
I'm interested in when our two-thousanders were conquered, and which of them was conquered last?
Have a nice day

Probably not an easy answer.
But it would be an interesting list if someone managed to compile it.
The last one is probably Oltarček in Martuljek.

I agree with Mr. Dragon's opinion. This post is really interesting reading on the topic. What an interesting person, unfortunately deceased, who illuminates every detail from all possible angles

For most lesser-known Slovenian two-thousanders it's hard - those top explorers of the unknown in the past were often people who didn't care too much about first ascents.
Interestingly, our Avčin wrote about this humble giant, Marjan Prevc

There were also those for whom the first ascent mattered a lot, as evidenced by part of the article below, which refers to the conquered peak of Turn pod Razorjem. The article was found by a mountaineer from Primorska (P.P.)...
***
White milestones that densely mark the state border stand in a long row like guardians of our right; with their posture they symbolize the souls of all who died as shining examples on the holy border in defense and guarantee of our right.
Their presence should be an incentive and example for us and a strict warning for others.
For two of these milestones, which have extraordinary symbolic value due to their characteristics, duplicates were made.
The first, less important one, built with extraordinary aesthetic sense on the then still virgin summit of Turn pod Razorjem, which we conquered first, excellently represents our supremacy and our perseverance. Therefore, it was placed in D'Annunzio's Vittoriale in Gardone, residence of our most famous defender of the eastern border.
The second, more important one, is the duplicate of milestone no.10, built on the summit of the famous Triglav and boldly rising towards the sky. The Italian delegation? (Delegazione Italiana) placed it in the cemetery of undefeated soldiers in Redipuglia in honor of all who sacrificed their lives so that Italy's borders run where law and history demand it …

Hm, times of the Rapallo border... history is really a mirror to see how we choose it forward.

some more names/years connected with famous first ascents to our peaks, that's hall of fame
For more details, you'll have to browse the times of drenovci and climbers for ascent years. Or ask Bose's Tinet in Bistrita about the Kamnik ones

Interesting that the first ascent of Storžič or Grintovec is even known. Both peaks don't seem technically demanding on the easiest routes, so that no one would have attempted them before. Or did people before that time not even think of going so high into the mountains?

People at that time really didn't go to the mountains just for fun or recreation like we do today. But only if they saw an opportunity to earn money up there. They were hunters, herbalists, shepherds...
And it's quite likely that the first ascenders to our mostly easier peaks were precisely these anonymous people who didn't even think it worth boasting about, nor did they document it. Then came various mainly foreign scholars and explorers who, with the help of local guides, "first" conquered all these peaks.
And we know that Columbus wasn't the first to arrive in America either

For technically less demanding mountains (Storžič, Grintavec, Mangart, Brana, Planjava etc etc) we only have the years of official first ascenders.
Hohenvart and the gentlemen who became only official first ascenders nicely wrote that local raubšici took them to the summits, who had already roamed all these mountains generations before and knew the secret passages.
