Yesterday (Friday, June 12) Mokrica via Veliki Krvavec, below Velbom and descent to Korošica via hunting path. I started at Jurju early in the morning and past Plečnik's artwork continued towards Kurja dolina. When the path disappeared, I went along the torrent bed and looked for passages between boulders. Where Veliki Krvavec branches left, I spotted a path on the right side of the gully leading upwards. Probably that's the hunting path running parallel along the ridge; I continued along Veliki Krvavec below Udiranje. Weather was nice, no wind, no frost overnight, so I figured there would be no falling rocks. And indeed there weren't. The gully is mostly fairly passable; here and there you need to be careful on ledges of sand and stones. No fresh collapses. When the gully narrowed towards the top, I looked for a way right to the scree ridge but didn't find it. So I continued on steep crumbly slabs and couloirs that form the last 100m of Veliki Krvavec. If the first 50m scrambling was somehow tolerable, the continuation was much more awkward. From afar the terrain looked like a steep wall of reddish rock. When closer, it turned out to be devilishly steep sand with stacked stones that just look like rock. I pulled some out to make a foothold, once or twice just kicked a hole in the sand. The last few meters were spiced with equally steep grass, so I sighed in relief when at about 1450m I rolled over the edge into the right side gully.
And stepped almost directly onto a small path. Equipped with quite a few cairns it led me through rocky and scree passages. About 100m higher I thought it went through nearly vertical scree, so I climbed up 10m, but looking back realized the path turns sharply right and down through a real tunnel of cut scree. Cairns, or where there were none, passages through cut scree led me on to the ledge below Kompotelo. Along the ledge I crossed above the scree edge (somewhere in the upper third of the ledge) to the gully below the north rib of Mokrica, then again with cairns about 80m down and then right along the chute below Velbom. Before it, left on grassy shelf to fairly steep scree ridge and then straight up through cut scree and on wet steep grass (ice axe helped) to the ridge. To Mokrica summit on the left there were still about 150m of marked path.
Descended via hunting path past the hut and on to the sand pit. Then along forest road to below Farjev plaz. When the road turns sharply right and back, I went straight on cart track, then path and when it got lost under fallen trees another 100m down through forest and then on marked path to Jurju.
I decided on the ascent via Veliki Krvavec after finding description in Alpinistični razgledi 3/1980 and post in old PZS forum (PrimozL, 2010); descriptions of hunting path start seemed unclear to me. AR description doesn't mention serious difficulties in gully, PrimozL warns about ledges below Velbom, which are technically most demanding (II grade). To me the crumbly and very steep gully exit seemed by far the hardest. Higher up I encountered quite a few cairns on the path, scree at key spots probably cut for some time. I assume the lower part of the path is at least approximately marked too, i.e. the one I bypassed via Veliki Krvavec. For approach to Mokrica from this side I'd recommend the path variant from the very start. Ascent over Veliki Krvavec surely makes a fine 1200m tour in winter conditions.
