I don't know, what's the sense in uploading over 130 very similar photos??!

Mountain lover; given that I see my car in one of your pics and I know exactly when I parked there I think you're bullshitting a bit about Montaž, if you conquered another hill in between that seems almost impossible to me.
It's true I don't know you personally and maybe you have some animal abilities and capacities. Well maybe we meet sometime and do a speed hike.
If what you claim is true then hats off.
About the pics I tell you it's pure bullshit and if you took so many on Mangart where every granny climbs imagine how many on Montaž.

For the first time above 2500m the youngest did great.
In the morning at the saddle we first watched sheep, then up the Slovenian route to the top. On the first half of the path on the Italian route he checked the snow remains, long sleep after.
Warning again, although many times: no helmet on the Slovenian route is roulette with rocks.

hehe accidentally pressed and went to sleep, that's why so many pics, will correct to less.
@tine.sl: then to Montaž, that's how you get pretty high. That day only cca 2000 elevation.

bernc: yes without, but not safe, nor smart.

Fixed protections are tight and OK, description says self-belaying recommended not mandatory but since occasionally some rock flies down, take it.

Explain how self-belay kit helps when rock flies down?
In my opinion kit overrated. Mostly posers use it for showing off!

In the sense that a rock flies onto your hand, say, you automatically pull your hand away and no longer hold the cable, but the complete kit keeps you on the cable.

Sorry, but I would use it on such paths, even if I were the only one with it... you can slip anytime, sure, but I'm safe at least where there are cables... and it's no showing off... in my opinion the one who goes up without any gear shows off more, like "look what I can do..."

As one wishes, it's recommended but not mandatory... you'll hold on anyway, since the purpose isn't to fall and have the self-belay kit hold you a couple of meters below the site of the accident, but if a rock (say 5-10 cm) flies into your shoulder, or a cramp hits your hand or you in the middle of the most demanding part, then the question is what you'll do, you might let go and it's over, in the other case with the kit it saves you, and those who do it only with a rope should inquire beforehand what consequences saving 40-50 euros can have, whatever the kit costs (I borrow mine from my brother), it tears in a fall and is unusable after. Let everyone decide for themselves, I've seen enough, experienced enough, and others said this guy's doing dns suicide, rocketing up and after the tour I wondered who's pulling whose dick to do such stupidities, like I did on Via Italiani, wisdom hits sooner or later, if not you then nature shows its ugly teeth.

At least one good comment LG. Namely, via ferratas are not so innocent, especially in bad weather, wind, lightning, hail, summer snow, falling rocks, sudden loss of strength and fatigue, sun exhaustion, snake bite, meeting (getting stuck) with fellow climbers on the path, slippery worn rock. It's not uncommon for even the greatest experienced vertical masters to leave their last farewell on via ferratas.

I also used the belay kit on this via ferrata a few years ago. I have to say it wasn't superfluous at all, as it gives much more "peace of mind", and you can even take photos more relaxed. But it's true, as both predecessors said, you never know when it might come in handy, one single mistake and you're gone.
